Bretby English Art Pottery Red Pink Vase Ceramic Oriental Pot

About the Item

English Art Pottery red pink vase ceramic oriental pot Bretby An English art pottery vase of oriental-inspired shape covered with a flowing glaze of deep reddish pink color evenly flecked with whiteish streaks. Signed with the impressed mark of the sun rising behind the name ‘Bretby’ and ‘England’, and numbered 1818A. This was made by the Bretby Art Pottery from Derbyshire in England, established in 1883 by William Ault and Henry Tooth who had previously been manager of the Linthorpe Pottery made famous through its designs by Christopher Dresser. While Bretby produced art ceramics in earthenware until 1920, this vase bears the mark from the period 1891-1901. In good condition with just two tiny surface losses of glaze, of negligible visual effect overall, one on the underside of the upper rim and the other on the side of the base rim. These we feel to not detract from its beauty and are barely noticeable by the eye, but like all vintage and antique pieces add to it’s history, charm and character. Please note that the flash photography used may make the colors appear slightly brighter or richer than they are in real life. This is mentioned for transparency. What can be certain is that the piece is breathtaking in both.

  • Rare French Art Deco Gabriel Fourmaintraux Desvres Pot Turquoise Ceramic Vase
    Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
    An astonishing piece from a pottery works run by Gabriel Fourmaintraux in Desvres in the Pas de Calais region of Northern France, after joining his family’s firm in 1905. The artist was trained at Sevres in Art Nouveau Japoniste techniques in ‘grès flamme' (stoneware with variegated flame-like glazes) which influenced Desvres to produce ceramics outside of the firm's usual production. They notably collaborated with painter Fernand Léger. This particular pot has the characteristic mark of the firm - a circular cache often almost illegible, as in this example, reading ‘F D’ within “DESVRES FRANCE’, as well as a series of numbers. The stamp is usually indistinct but is easily recognizable to those familiar with this pottery’s production. An extremely unusual piece of art with fascinating prismatic shape where its profile steps up or down in a striking manner. It has a flowing glaze characteristic of the firm’s Art Nouveau origins, which runs from a pale turquoise to red effects with very delicate metallic and multi-color crystalline luster appearance, but whereas many of their forms are organic and more conventional in origin this one is unusually of an Art Deco shape making it particularly special. A rare collector’s item, or a unique accessory which would fit into both a traditional or contemporary glam decor...
