Ruskin Pottery Globular Vase with Peacock Lustre Glaze

This rather wonderful globular shaped vase was made by the famed British manufacturer, Ruskin Pottery. The vase has been finished with a peacock coloured iridescent glaze which has a mystical quality to it. The piece is stamped to the underside for manufacture by Ruskin and has a date stamp for 1922, the very beginning of the roaring twenties. The vase is in lovely condition with no apparent chips or cracks and only very minor wear to the base 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. What a gorgeous piece of Arts & Crafts pottery which would look so elegant holding a single phalaenopsis orchid stem.
