About the Item
This Art Deco style ceramic vase, designed by Colin Melbourne and produced by Beswick, England, features a striking turquoise and black glaze with bold, organic striping. Its sculptural form, inspired by the calla lily, presents a bulbous body that tapers into a slender, flaring neck, emphasizing fluidity and elegance.
Originally conceptualized in the 1920s by Beswick designer Mr. Symcox, this vase was updated and reimagined in the 1950s by Colin Melbourne, a renowned British ceramicist known for his modernist approach. The striped glaze pattern, reminiscent of zebra-like markings, enhances the vase’s dynamic contours, while its soft matte finish subtly diffuses light, accentuating its sculptural quality.
Stamped "Beswick England" and numbered 1351 on the base, this vase measures 24 cm in height and 11 cm in diameter. In very good condition for its age and use, it is a sophisticated yet bold example of mid-20th-century British ceramic design, blending Art Deco influences with modernist refinement.

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta
By Mdina, Michael Harris
Located in Glasgow, GB
A rare signed Mdina Glass vase from Malta, dated 1979, exemplifying the studio’s bold aesthetic during its formative years.
This decorative squat bottle vase is worked in the celebrated ‘Ming’ pattern, with swirling bands of turquoise blue and deep green glass layered over a base of sparkling golden ochre. The colours twist upward in irregular spirals around the rotund body, forming a richly tactile surface that captures the light beautifully.
This form—low, broad, and full-bodied—is less commonly encountered, particularly in this scale. Measuring 16.5 cm in both height and diameter, it’s a commanding example of vintage Mdina glass...
