Crown Devon, Mattajade Fairyland series by Enoch Boulton, Art Deco Vase, 1930s
About the Item
This elegantly diminutive and subtly exquisite, handpainted work of late Art Deco design is by Enoch Boulton for the British Pottery Crown Devon. The baluster form is an excellent canvas for the semi-matt, satin glaze décor. The base glaze is a tone of Powdered Teal green, applied in the layered, overlapping scale manner characteristic of the Mattajade glaze technique pieces.
The handpainted featured decor is that of the Fairyland series, also sometimes known as the 'Fairycastle' series that Boulton designed. Mattajade Fairyland was a popular series during its time and the rarity of finding it now has since made it highly collectable. The scene-lets are of charming turreted buildings nestled in the fantastical fauna in tones of Powdered Teal green, Azure blue, Jet black, Coquelicot orange, yellow with stylised lineations of gold - all of which wake up the islands that rest on the stylized waves.
The overall piece is finished with a hand-painted flora and fauna border that wraps around the external rim. The border is an echo of the main flora, with gold-edged black leaf clusters graduating into a band of Cerulean blue and Coquelicot yellow, finished with dotted blooms in orange and Verdigris.
Timeless in style and when combined with the featured design; the size and overall condition of this piece make this an exceptionally rare find.
