Notes: British Art Pottery micro-crystalline vase in blue, with Egyptian influenced squat, almost angular, ovoid form designed by William Howson Taylor at Ruskin Pottery, West Smethwick, England, and made in 1927.
The Taylor’s sought to achieve production of, “good potting, beauty of form and rich or tender colorations … all made on the potter’s wheel … no moulding, casting or machine processes’ the pottery’s rich glazes were not to be marred by ‘printing, lithographing or gilding’. This vase achieves these aims and speaks to the Ruskinian dictum of “Truth to Nature”.
Dimensions: 5 7/8” height x 5” diameter
Markings: impressed on base with date, “1927 RUSKIN ENGLAND”
Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition – no damage, no repair with very little age and use wear, only what is expected on such an item. The glaze is near perfect and the form is superb.
