For sale is a piece of Florian “Green and Gold” by William Moorcroft circa 1903-08. In double gourd shape, it is arguably one of the most desirable shapes to secure in your collection. At 27.5cm tall, it is a substantial piece. It counts three flower and tulip buds each to the top of the vase with the same again to the bottom gourd of the vase, so twelve buds in total. The gilt is in excellent condition so this piece really “pops” in a display cabinet.

The vase is being sold in excellent original condition with no damage or restoration. Beneath, the Florian Ware stamp and William’s flash signature in green is present and correct.

For sale is what can only be described as an “uber-rare” Doulton Lambeth bowl by renowned artist Florence Barlow. It dates to 1877 – a lovely early piece. With birds in relief scrolling down to form feet, this is the only piece of its kind I have seen by Florence Barlow, or even remotely similar! Florence focussed on birds – yes – but she painted remarkably realistic birds in the pate-sur-pate technique onto the facia of her pieces. On this earlier piece, Florence has executed beautiful and bold aesthetic design to the main body, of which I have seen examples before. She has then opted to add three birds gracing the sides and footing of the bowl, which take its quality to the next level.

The bowl stands 13.5cm high but significantly wider at 23cm. It therefore has a lovely presence and its moderate size would suit a collectors cabinet or be a centre piece on a hall table, sideboard or mantle.

Presented in outstanding original condition, there are no chips, cracks or restoration. The bowl beneath shows the round Doulton Lambeth stamp and date 1877. It further shows the signature of Florence Barlow “FEB” together with assistant marks and code numbers.

For sale is an exceptionally high quality Doulton Lambeth bowl, dating 1875. Made by renowned early artist Arthur Barlow, he was the brother to similarly famous Hannah Barlow. The bowl is intricately decorated to the body in typical, rich 1870’s style, with strong influences from George Tinworth. This can be observed by the beaded scrollwork around the circumference, and the two cherub-like putti emerging from trumpeted flowers. The putti are highly likely the work of Tinworth or John Broad, known to add collaboration design to other artists’ pieces. The colours and rich glaze are glorious. The blues are vibrant, and the purple tones so, so alluring.

For sale is a really well executed early Doulton Lambeth Ewer by renowned artist George Tinworth.

To the main body, we have bold “GT” initials for George Tinworth. Beneath, we have the Doulton Lambeth stamp dating the ewer to 1879 with two other potter and assistant signatures. The Ewer is in outstanding original condition and will delight any serious early Doulton or Arts & Crafts collectors!
