For sale is a very early Doulton Lambeth jug by their most famous artist, George Tinworth. Dated 1874, in our opinion this piece represents a rarer and finer quality work by Tinworth. Unusually, the Seaweed Scroll work is absent on this piece, as George has decided to work towards a different effect. He has used the beading which is large and raised (sharp to the touch) to create four horizon borders. He has then crossed diagonal lines to create a diamond criss-cross effect. Within each diamond segment is then decorated blue bulbous forms which house intricate florette roundels to the centre diamonds, and beads to the smaller areas. The background is coloured to mid-brown. Beneath, the jug is stamped with the early oval Doulton Lambeth mark and dated 1874. Further it has George's monogram clearly engraved and that of an assistant or thrower. The jug is in fabulous condition, with only a very minor professional, invisible restoration to a small top rim chip. The quality of this jug will delight any serious early Doulton or Arts & Crafts collectors! -

For sale is this exquisite, early Florian Ware vase by William Moorcroft, dating to around 1902. Decorated with what we believe to be forget-me-nots surrounded by whisps of foliage, it is a little firecracker at only 7cm tall! With warm blues and greens, under light in our cabinets it really does look magnificent. The whole vase from top to toe is brimming with decoration which also makes it so appealing. William Moorcroft at the time of making this piece was working for James MacIntyre & Co, where he became very successful with Florian Ware and after they closed his department, he continued in his own name to go onto become one of the most successful art potters of his time. Offered for sale in excellent original condition, this vase has had no damage or restoration. It has the "William Moorcroft Des" signature in green, present and correct for the period. "Des" indicated he was the designer working for MacIntyre and is most often seen following his name on these early pieces. -

For sale we have a gorgeous Doulton Lambeth miniature Hannah Barlow vase, dating to the turn of the century.

What exactly is it? For sale is this highly unusual and grotesque Martin Brothers reptile sitting on top of an upside down mushroom. Intricately constructed with a body hideous to behold, we have not seen another quite like this piece. The creature, with almost human like face, has a hand to its mouth like it is whistling, whilst its menacing double-taloned feet grip the underside of the mushroom. The body is contorted and detailed as if scaly, the texture brought out by blue against the otherwise pale cream colourway. The creature has a long tail, going down to the base of the mushroom stem and then curling around. The mushroom has long painted green strokes. Which brother made it? Likely to have been made by the brother most famed for grotesque, whimsical and macabre creations, Robert Wallace Martin. -
