This is a very substantial Scottish studio pottery vase, probably dating to the early part of the 20th Century.
It is made of heavy stoneware with a hand-painted decorative abstract floral frieze to the top. The design is very Art Nouveau in style with whiplash foliage in plum and black tones.
It has a painted mark on the base - with a tufted blue heart, the initials GWBC and a letter W monogram. I have as yet been unable to identify the artist. I welcome any further information.
The vase is very substantial and weighs 1.8 kg unpacked.
It is 7 inches in height and has a diameter of 6 1/4 inches at the widest.
It is in good condition with no chips or cracks. There is some craquelure to the glaze which is commensurate with age.
Due to its weight, the vase would have to be sent to you with Royal Mail Medium Parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
