Ruskin Pottery Slender Pale Blue Glazed Vase

This tall vase was made by the famed British maker, Ruskin Pottery. The tapering body of the vase has a flared lip and has been finished with a beautiful iridescent sky blue glaze. The vase is fully marked to the underside for manufacture by Ruskin and has a date mark for 1920, the very beginning of the roaring twenties. The vase presents in very good condition overall and has no chips or cracks, only very 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 truly beautiful and very sleek addition to a collection of Ruskin Pottery, or a lovely gift for an antique enthusiast.
