    Doulton Lambeth Very Early Jug

    Original price was: £195.00.Current price is: £145.00.
    For sale is an extremely early Doulton Lambeth art pottery small jug. Made in the late 1860s. These pieces are few and far between and even rarer to find in perfect condition. Adorned with many repeated geometric shapes, with primarily pyramid shapes to the body before a rounded collar to the neck. Vertical interspersed lines then delicately decorate the neck. The handle is smooth, simply with an upturned end to the base. The simplicity, yet the brilliance of all the different sized pyramids create such an interesting effect. A couple of these early pieces are illustrated in "The Doulton Lambeth Wares" book by Desmond Eyles and Louise Irvine. They came just before the very first George Tinworth pieces so are a prize for the collector who would like to include the earliest work in their collection. Stamped beneath with the rare Doulton Lambeth box lettered stamp, this is the stamp that preceded the early oval stamp. It is not signed by an artist. A wonderful piece of history!

    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.

    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.
