A Large Pair of Aubergine Purple Flambe Lamps, the vases by Rupert Spira

About the Item

A fine pair of large flambe vessels incised with the initials RS to the rear, for Rupert Spira, now converted as lamps with giltwood bases. Rupert Spira was born in London in 1960. He earned his degree at West Surrey College of Art and later on became an apprentice at Wenford Bridge Pottery. In 1996, he opened his own studio at Church Farm, in Shropshire. His early work has a very traditional and practical feel and includes various teapots , plates and vases. Even though Spira still makes functional pottery, he is better known for his more complex studio pottery. He worked closely with Edmund de Waal and has now departed from pottery to pursue a career as a spiritual teacher. Height of vase 47.00cm Height to finial 73.00cm Diameter of base 14.00cm Please note: Photographed with an 18” diameter pale cream card Pembroke lampshade.
