Vintage Moorcroft columbine vase, mid 20th century 4.25" tall x 3" wide. No cracks, chips, or restorations, expected crazing. <br><br>William Moorcroft was employed by Staffordshire pottery manufacturers James Macintyre & Co. Ltd. as a designer in 1897, and after a year he was responsible for the company’s art pottery studio.<br><br>William Moorcroft created designs for the Macintyre’s Aurelian Ware range of high-Victorian pottery, which had transfer-printed and enamelled decoration in bold red, blue and gold colours. He also developed the art nouveau-influenced Florian Ware which was decorated entirely by hand, with the design outlined in trailed slip using a technique known as tubelining. William Moorcroft’s designs won him a gold medal at the St. Louis International Exhibition in 1904.<br><br>Each piece of pottery produced was personalised with Moorcroft’s own signature or initials.<br><br>William Moorcroft and James Macintyre & Co. Ltd. split up in 1913 and Moorcroft founded his own factory nearby. Some finance came from the famous London store Liberty, and Liberty continued to exercise control over Moorcroft until 1962.<br><br>Moorcroft’s reputation was further enhanced with the appointment of the Moorcroft company as Potter to HM The Queen in 1928. On the death of William Moorcroft in 1945, his elder son, Walter, took over management and design and he continued in this position until his retirement in 1987, after which he continued contributing to Moorcroft designs.<br><br>During the tenure of Walter Moorcroft, the Liberty store’s interest in Moorcroft was purchased by Moorcroft in 1962.<br><br>In the 1980s Moorcroft got into financial difficulties as a result of rising wages and fuel, which were exacerbated by the labour intensive techniques employed by Moorcroft and the company went through several changes in ownership with the result that from 1993 the company was controlled by the Edwards family, which is still the case.<br><br>The young 24 year old designer Rachel Bishop joined Moorcroft in 1993, as only its fourth designer in almost a hundred years and her designs become immediately popular. In 1997 the Moorcroft Design Studio was formed with eight designers, and with Rachel Bishop as head designer.<br><br>Moorcroft celebrated its centenary in 1997, marking the year that William Moorcroft joined MacIntyre as its founding date, rather than the year the company was founded.<br><br>Moorcroft is still producing art pottery in it’s own distinctive design style, and with astute promotion and limited edition designs, is selling more than it did in the mid-1920’s, its previous heyday.<br>isshelf

c1925 Royal Doulton Chang over Sung decorated Flambe Signed by Charles Noke<br>(1858 - 1941); Harry Nixon (1886 - 1955). Large, rare, one of a kind and<br>important. 9.75" 24.5cm tall x 6" 15cm wide. No cracks, chips, restorations or<br>wear. Overall crackle glaze from production. This is likely the most fun and<br>interesting piece of pottery I've owned and I've appreciated art pottery the<br>majority of my life. This piece was entirely decorated with the prunus<br>chinoiserie "Sung" decoration (Iridescent branches and flowers) and flambe glaze<br>then they poured this crazy thick Chang glaze on it and just let it run. I feel<br>this is likely a piece from the very beginning of Chang production in 1925 or<br>even before when they were experimenting as it's a most unusual and extremely<br>labor intensive piece, even the bottom seems like a party. In addition to the<br>painted marks and signatures there is also an impressed Doulton and something<br>else that I just couldn't decide what it was. For international shipment it will<br>be sent Fedex so it will be there in less than a week unless you have an<br>objection.<br>B33

c1920 Rene Brenner Bayeux Tapestry Lustre French Faience Water Set 11 PC. Selling the set extremely rare, one piece is difficult to find, here's a set over 100 years old in incredible condition. Slight glaze wear on the rims of a few of the tumblers, the one in the top center of the first two pics has a shallow chip shown in pics. No other chips, cracks, or restorations. Ready to use or display. The (8) large tumblers are full sized water glasses 5 5/8" tall x 3 7/16" wide at rim 12 ouces or more. The (2) smaller juice or jumbo shot glasses are 3 1/8" tall x 2 5/8" wide at the rim, probably about 3-4 ounces. The pitcher is a large water ptcher 9.75" tall x 11" handle to spout, maybe 3 quarts/liters. No glaze flakes, chips, cracks, etc on pitcher. Very clean set. Rene Emile Brenner was born in France in 1889 and died in 1942. He followed Louis Etienne Desmat ideas with Bayeux tapestry scenes but Brenners work had more lustre in the glazes. Brenner produced superb pieces closely reflecting scenes from the Bayeux tapestry, which tell how William the Conqueror won the battle of Hastings and the English throne in 1066. It’s executed in brilliant blue, yellow and rust against a beautiful copper lustre background. tw192

1920's Awaji Japanese Deco Art Pottery Vase Tubelined Squeezbag Decoration in the Style of Moorcroft. Very unusual and wonderful piece. Period art deco, signed Made in Japan and the Awahi Kiln Mark. The outlines of the hand painted decoration are Tubelined. 7.5" tall x 7.25" wide at rim. No cracks, chips, or restorations, some expected crazing, but no stains. While the decoration is also Gouda style, this is really next level quality with the tubelined squeezbag and the great matte glaze. In my opinon this would be a Book Cover type example for a few diferent collecting areas, it's fresh to the market for the first time since the internet. Awaji pottery has got its name after the Japanese island at which it was made during a period of about one hundred years, between 1830 and 1939. Most of the pieces we find are made from the mid 1870's when Awaji began to export its products, to the mid to late 1930's when the last of the kilns closed. Earlier wares from the active period of this kiln catered to the Asian taste and could be found imitating Chinese monochromes from the Kangxi period and later. Wares from the turn of the century, the shapes got more inspired by the western art movement such as Art Deco (Jugend) and Art Noveau. Awaji pottery is usually hand thrown. The body is made of high-fired, white or cream colored clay. Footrims can vary from pink or buff to white or grey. The glazes are lead based and often brilliant in tone. They are typically translucent and have a fine crackle. The lead in the glaze gives the colors brilliance and makes the translucent enamels glassy and often iridescent. Most common are the green and yellow Awaji monochromes. The yellow can range from pale lemon to deep amber but also cobalt blue, aubergine, light green, blue, light and dark turquoise, mirror-black, and burdy occurs. Other wares can feature two-tone glazes, three-color glazes that are very similar to Chinese sancai), pieces, with incised decoration (most commonly featuring iris flowers), and applied relief decoration. Also more gaudy examples from the last decade are Flambé and drip glazed wares similar to Japanese Sumida and Chinese Shiwan pottery, or later Jindezheng Jun or transmutation glazes, with generous layers of thick glaze B35
