William Moorcroft Pomegranate Vase – M55 Shape (c. 1910s–1920s)

A beautiful example of early William Moorcroft craftsmanship, this small Pomegranate design vase embodies the timeless charm of Moorcroft’s celebrated Burslem period. Measuring approximately 6.5cm in height and 8cm in width, the vase is modelled in the distinctive M55 shape, perfectly proportioned for display.

The decoration features four richly painted pomegranates, evenly spaced around the rounded body, each enhanced with deep green foliage and clusters of blue-purple berries that provide a striking contrast. The design is crowned with a warm ochre glaze running up to and including the rim—an unmistakable hallmark of Moorcroft’s early Burslem output.

To the base, the vase bears a full William Moorcroft signature in green, together with impressed marks reading Moorcroft, Burslem, M55. The piece remains in excellent, unrestored condition, showing only the fine glaze crazing typical of early Moorcroft pottery, with no damage or repairs.

A lovely, well-balanced example of William Moorcroft’s iconic Pomegranate design, this vase would make a fine addition to any Moorcroft collection or serve as a statement piece in its own right.

For sale we have this tall and commanding Doulton Lambeth vase by George Tinworth. It is an early piece, dating to 1876.

George has used his signature “Seaweed Scroll” design across the vase to great effect, with subtle green seaweed contrasted against a rich brown background. The beading work to the scrolls is refined and delicate. Geometric tactile borders reside above and below the scrolling, with vertical leaf patterns extenuating the narrow base section to give interest and play to its height. The leaves also have subtle purples and pinks in them, which really adds to the piece overall. Inside the rim, the purple is evident again and adds further contrast to a well executed vase by Doulton Lambeth’s master artist.

Presented in undamaged original condition, the vase is stamped correctly beneath with the oval Doulton Lambeth stamp and the date 1876. This vase was originally one of two, and only one was signed with the GT monogram to the main body, which was a typical scenario. The picture of the other vase is provided below as proof that this piece is 100% a George Tinworth vase. Offered for sale at a very competitive price. The buyer will not be disappointed!

For sale we have an early beautiful Doulton Lambeth ewer by rare artist Emily J Edwards, dating to 1875. The design work shows early Tinworth influences, however Emily was a very talented artist and brings her own creativity to the piece. Holly leaves hanging from beaded banding, and then a mix of florals and angular motifs to make this an impressive piece. The dotted collars at the base of the neck show influences from Arthur Barlow too, Adorned with a pewter lid, this piece is as authentic and original as they come. A lovely piece for a rare artist who is much rarer to find than other artists due to her short tenure.

The jug is free from any chips, cracks or restoration. The pewter rim is original. Beneath we have Emily’s signature, together with the marks of the assistant and thrower and the Doulton Lambeth oval stamp with the date 1875.

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!

Early R.W. Martin Salt-Glazed Mustard Pot (April 1874)

This historically significant salt-glazed mustard pot, measuring 9cm in height and width, represents a rare early work by Robert Wallace Martin. Dated to April 1874, the piece features a squat, bulbous body transitioning to a structured neck and a domed lid with a sculpted finial. It retains its original pewter metal hinge mount, complete with a traditional spoon aperture.

The vessel is heavily decorated, utilizing a deep cobalt blue glaze that contrasts sharply with the textured buff stoneware ground. The exterior displays a vigorous, deeply incised pattern of stylized foliate and fern-like motifs around the lower body. This is complemented by a continuous band of repeating wavy arches at the neck and radiating petal designs upon the lid.

The underside bears the clear, incised signature “R W Martin”, alongside the pattern code “A36” and the date “4-74”, firmly placing its production in the pivotal early months of Wallace’s independent career.

Condition & Restoration Opportunity: While the main body, metal mount, and lid present strongly, the angular handle has sustained four breaks and currently exhibits old, crude adhesive repairs. This presents an excellent, straightforward project for a professional ceramic restorer or a dedicated collector. Once sympathetically restored, this piece will stand as a highly displayable and historically important 1870s artifact.

For sale is a stunning and substantial Late Cornflower vase by William Moorcroft, dating between 1925-1935. Decorated with eight large cornflowers in pinks and purples, the vase absolutely explodes with colour. Contrasting wonderfully against a white background, it displays extremely well and is an eye catching centre piece. At 9 inches or 23cm tall and with a circumference of almost 20 inches or 50cm, this is a fabulous size and worthy of any discerning collection.
