A rare 1887 Doulton Lambeth stoneware vase designed by celebrated artist Eliza Simmance. Featuring rich cobalt blue glazes and hand-detailed floral work, this 18 cm piece is in flawless original condition. Complete with impressed factory and artist marks on the base.

For sale we have this utterly georgous and unusual Doulton Lambeth vase by George Tinworth. It is an early piece made during his most inspired period, dating to 1877.

Unlike his most common “signature Seaweed Scroll” design, George has opted to do something different here. He has used the same base design as the seaweed, but made upright frond spears. This is unusual and a far rarer vase for it. Large frilled fronds rise from the base, whilst large straight-edged fronds drop from the neck. Each set of fronds is dissected by a white diamond pattern border, which very unusually have their own foliate edging. The colourway really makes this vase stunning. The spears are in Doulton’s gorgeous green, whilst the background is a terrific bold blue. The high shine glaze of the piece sets the colours off as you expect in a high quality piece like this. To finish things off, George has very boldly placed his “GT” monogram at the lower end of the vase between the frond spears.

Presented in superb original condition, the vase is stamped correctly beneath with the Doulton Lambeth stamp and dated 1877. It further has the marks of the assistant “E.L.H”, all typical of George’s work in this period. We cannot iterate enough what a gem this vase is and it will absolutely thrill its new owner!

For sale is this superb Martin Brothers Aquatic Fish vase which is a striking example of their exceptional artistry. The vase features banding at both the top and bottom, framing the whimsical scene. The main part of the vase displays eight fish, each with a whimsical expression and in different poses. These fish are set against a blue and cream background, creating a captivating seawater effect. Interspersed among the fish are seaweed and shells, adding to the aquatic theme. This vase, likely made by Robert Wallace Martin, showcases the exceptional skill of the Martin Brothers beautifully.

Double Ribbed Martin Brothers Lustre vase – June 1907

For sale is this really interesting example of Edwin and Walter Martins’ organic pottery work. The vase is of subtle bulbous form, with a multitude of thin horizontal ribs and then large pronouced vertical ribs from the waist to the top rim. The Brothers have then applied a rich deep brown / dark grey / black colour with metallic oxide to give a wonderful lustre to the piece. In the photographs, observe the different angles where we try and illustrate the effect. This is a wonderful example of their work and is a most subtle, yet highly competent execution.

Condition and Provenance

The vase is in excellent original condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. A couple of specks on the main body of the vase are small imperfections during the manufacture of the vase. The signature beneath is 100% consistent with period pieces and is marked “6-1907, Martin Bros, London & Southall”, again entirely consistent and authentic. See the V&A Museum picture below of a virtually identical example from the same year by Edwin.

William Moorcroft Pomegranate Vase (Circa mid-1920s)

Presenting a fine William Moorcroft vase in the highly sought-after Pomegranate pattern, dating to the mid-1920s. Measuring 13cm in height and 9.5cm in width, the vessel features a well-proportioned baluster form with a gently flared rim and a sweeping circular foot. The piece survives in excellent original condition, completely free from chips, cracks, or restoration.

The tube-lined decoration displays the iconic Pomegranate design, featuring a continuous frieze of both whole and open fruit revealing intricately detailed seeds. These are interspersed with lush clusters of rounded berries and trailing autumnal foliage. The vibrant ochre, russet, and deep crimson tones of the pomegranates contrast strikingly against the characteristic inky cobalt blue ground, which transitions subtly to a mottled greenish-ochre toward the upper rim. The high-gloss glaze remains rich and reflective, enhancing the depth of the metallic oxide colors.

The underside displays the impressed factory marks “MOORCROFT” and “MADE IN ENGLAND”, alongside William Moorcroft’s painted “WM” flash monogram in blue, confirming its authentic mid-1920s production period.

In 1873, Arthur Barlow crafted a remarkable Doulton Lambeth ewer, a testament to his exceptional skill and artistic vision. This ewer, notable for its generous proportions, is adorned with intricate scrolling beadwork, florette roundels, and elegant foliate designs. Characteristic of Barlow’s style, it features his distinctive banding in the background, adding depth and texture to the piece. The top of the ewer is crowned with a solid sterling silver lid, which is original and was crafted in London in 1873 by the esteemed silversmiths Richards & Brown.

The condition of this ewer is impeccable; it remains in its original state with no chips, cracks, or restoration, preserving its historical and aesthetic value. Beneath the foot of the ewer, one can find Arthur Barlow’s signature alongside the Doulton Lambeth oval stamp, authenticating its origin and craftsmanship.

For sale is an exceptional and very early Doulton Lambeth jug by rare and sought after artist Emily J. Edwards, dated 1874.

The vase is decorated with natural green foliage swirls that have a dotted, textured outline. The background really lights this piece up and is most unusual, being a mix of lighter shades blended into bold pinks, purples and blues to create a breathtaking effect of aesthetic splendour. Banded, lined borders draw influence from Arthur Barlow’s work, her peer. The handle presents with bands of lined borders and leaves.

The vase is overall in very good condition with no restoration. We have identified a small, faint hairline to the top rim, but it is hardly noticeable, has no edge to the nail, and therefore we believe the jug is best left untouched as the rest of its condition is wonderful.

Beneath the foot is the clear monogram of Emily J Edwards and the early oval Doulton Lambeth stamp, together with the year 1874. Assistant marks are also present, which is to be expecte
