Art Deco Style Turquoise & Black Vase by Colin Melbourne for Beswick, 1950s
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.
