Ruskin Pottery Blue Glazed Baluster Vase

This tall baluster shaped vase was manufactured by one of the great English ceramic makers, Ruskin Pottery. The deep blue glazed vase is marked to the underside for manufacture by Ruskin and has a date stamp for 1909, indicating it was made during the Edwardian period. The vase is in lovely condition with no apparent chips or cracks and only some minor wear to the glaze commensurate with age and use. Manufactured near Birmingham, Ruskin Pottery is a perfect example of Arts & Crafts period design, with the pieces designed by Edward R. Taylor and his son William Howson Taylor. Remarkably after Ruskin was closed in the 1930s, William Howson Taylor destroyed his glaze records so that pieces could not be replicated. A very lovely example of Arts & Crafts pottery which is just as practical today as it was in 1909.
