Influenced by the modernist homeware being produced in Italy, Scandinavia and America, this beautifully stylised Art Deco 1930s vase / jug an early British ’studio’ art pottery design that is from the 'Flaxman Ware' by Wade Heath Pottery company.
The gentle ridges of the body just poised to the angular spout adds a beautifully tactile element to this piece. The design has the ‘setback’ outline which is synonymous with art deco architecture. The semi-matte base glaze is a beautiful blending of honey and gravel forms an excellent canvas for the hand painted and stylised abstract blue décor.
An embodiment of English Art Deco design, which has a contemporary feel too.
