aThis is a rare Solano Ware bowl - it is decorated on the outside with its distintive green stripes. It is part of my collection of pieces in this range which were designed by John Wadsworth.    

The design dates to the late 1940s and was created and produced by John Wadsworth (1879–1955) - who was the director at Mintons. It is part of the "Solano Ware range. This was one of the last ranges produced at Minton’s earthenware works, which ceased operation in 1942 - not many of these have survived and they are now highly sought after.  

Like the canisters that I have in stock - this bowl has a cream-coloured gloze and four raised horizontal bands with their original over-glaze green colour. This colour was very popular in the 1930s  / 1940s British kitchens.  

The bowl is 4 inches in height and has a diameter of 7 1/2 inches.  It is in fine vintage condition - it has a couple of little restored chipa on the base rim which you cannot see on display. That is the only issue with this pot - everything else is without damage. The price has been much reduced to take this into account. 

The weight unpacked is 700 grams..  

Marked to the base with the Mintons crown and globe stamp and a hand-painted reference no: E4644, as photographed.  

BIOGRAPHY: John Wadsworth was a celebrated ceramics designer. He was born in Macclesfield and studied at Stockport Schools of Art. In 1898 he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, where he was influenced by Walter Crane and William Lethaby. Wadsworth was appointed Assistant Art Director in 1901 and became Art Director in 1905. He moved to the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company as Art Director in 1915 before returning to work at Mintons in 1935.   

John Wadsworth is probably best known for his wonderful early 20th-century Secessionist Art Nouveau ceramic designs and tube-lined decoration. 

This bowl would be sent to you with Royal Mail Recorded as a medium-sized parcel. This would cost £6.95 and applied to your order at the checkout.
