About the Item

This mid-century Beswick ceramic vase revisits a 1930s Art Deco design by Mr. Symcox, reissued in the 1950s by the renowned English pottery firm. Its urn-like modernist silhouette is both substantial and restrained, with a rounded body subtly detailed by concentric ribbing near the neck—an understated gesture that introduces texture without disrupting the form’s simplicity. The glaze is a standout: a layered, organic drip in turquoise and moss green, flowing across the matte surface to create a soft, almost painterly diffusion of light and colour. This finish draws attention to the piece’s sculptural quality while maintaining a quiet, contemplative presence. Stamped Beswick England and numbered 1552 on the base, the vase measures 21 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter. It remains in very good vintage condition, offering a thoughtful intersection of Art Deco elegance and post-war British ceramic craftsmanship.

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...
