Dee Cee Commissioned Small Swirl Pattern Vase - Dümler & Breiden

 
SOLD

Small vase in the familiar cream, green & brown swirl pattern used by the German company Dümler & Breiden. This one though bears the barely visble stamp of Dee Cee, a Birmingham importer owned by Mr Desmond Cooper who commissioned ware from many well known potteries both in the UK and abroad. Slight novelty in that it has an impressed fingerprint just under the rim but in all other respects it's fine.
Measurements: 8cm (h) x 7.5 cm

Hand Finished Bud Vase with Finch Decoration - Ceramica Ibis, Aveiro Portugal

SOLD

Slender trumpet necked bud vase by Ceramica Ibis of Aveiro,Portugal. It is off white with a matt finish that has a translucent bone china quality to it. It has a hand applied gold line under the rim and a design featuring finches sitting on blossomy branches. Not sure what the finches are; they seem to have goldfinch heads but the rest is a mixture. I dare say someone will put me right.  One or two very light surface smudges but nothing serious and otherwise it's in excellent condition.

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.

Vintage Studio Pottery Vase

Unusually shaped heavy earthenware vase in cream with yellow and green streaks. The glaze is a bit thin in places and has cracked and whether this is deliberate or not I can't obviously tell but it's an interesting effect nonetheless. Still a good looking vase. No potter's mark.

Vintage Two-Handled Vase - Dümler & Breiden 1096

Late 1950s - early 1960s vase by the German maker Dümler & Breiden. Dating is difficult with D & B as they didn't acknowledge partition and use "W.Germany". It is pattern number 480 in a speckled grey white finish with a brown band sandwiched between two textured bands in a nod to the burgeoning fat lava style. There is some blue speckling, albeit in a rather haphazard style and mainly around one handle. This handle also has a bit of a graze with some glaze removed. There is also a small unglazed patch on the rim so it is my hunch that this is a second. Most of the irregularities are on one side so if it's turned round it looks fine!

Small Blue Ringed Studio Pottery Vase

Small posy vase in grey speckled glaze with blue rings. Despite its appearance it's quite a delicate pot with relatively thin walls. The base does have a mark, what appears to be a stylised GP or FP but I can't identify it. I have had one before, quite a while back but if someone enlightened me at the time I can't remember! It's in lovely condition.
