Vintage Stoneware Vase - Pearson's of Chesterfield - RARE



Pearson's of Chesterfield also produced an art pottery range alongside their domestic stoneware. It's not easy to find but occasionally something does pop up and it's often a real treat. This is a very substantial vase in sage green bearing the post WWII backstamp. I believe the shape is technically termed a "hyperboloid" although as it appears hand thrown I suspect the underlying geometry was ignored by the potter.  It's in fantastic condition with only production blemishes in the very thick glaze.

17.5cm (h) x 12cm dia at base.

Small Swedish Pottery Posy Vase - Y166VA - Bo Fajans Gefle


Small posy vase by the Swedish artware pottery, Bo Fajans of Gefle. Green glazes with handpainted leaves. Impressed mark to the base,the backstamp dating to between 1924 and 1967 but I suspect this to be towards the latter end of that range. It also has a decorator's or pattern mark, Y166VA, on the base.

7.5cm x 6cm
