These vintage British wall masks or wall pockets are always popular items for decorating the Art Deco home.
They date to the 1930s and are made of a porcelain material. The front of the mask is painted and then coated with a high glossy glaze. The back is always unfinished with a bisque texture, and has an impressed issue, and manufacturers' mark.
They are good quality items and this is reflected in my asking price. This one was made by Cope & Co and shows the profile of a young lady. She wears a claret bonnet - kept on with a large black ribbon which is tied in a bow near her chin. The lady has chestnut hair and her lipstick is the same shade as her hat.
My wall mask is in excellent condition with no damage. The glaze is generally nice and glossy. There is some very fine craquelure to the clear glaze on the face - this is a common occurrence on these old wall pockets. You cannot see this with the mask on display, only on close-up inspection.
Dimensions: The height (to top of the hat) is about 7 inches. From the tip of the lady's nose to the back of her hat is 5 inches.
But it is certainly without chips or cracks. It is marked on the back: C & Co. / ENGLAND / No. 14.
