STUNNING LARGE CHARLOTTE RHEAD TUBE LINED VASE

 

THIS IS A LOVELY LARGE TUBE LINE DECORATED VASE DESIGNED BY CHARLOTTE RHEAD FOR CROWN DUCAL IN THE MID 1930'S (35 - 36) AND IS THE PERSIAN ROSE PATTERN. IT DEPICTS ON A CREAM GROUND GUNMETAL TUBE OUTLINED AUTUMNAL LEAVES AND STYALISED FLOWER HEADS IN FIVE COLOURS, WITH A DIAGONALLY STRIPED BANDING AT ITS TOP AND BOTTOM. THE VASE'S FORM IS VERY MEDITERRANEAN IN STYLE WITH TWO LARGE ANGULAR ALMOST GREEK HANDLES AND LIGHT RIBBING TO THE CENTRE PANEL AND IS BANDED TOP AND BOTTOM AND TO THE HANDLES IN AN ALMOST GOLD LUSTRE GLAZE. IT IS BACK STAMPED WITH THE CROWN DUCAL LOGO AS WELL AS CHARLOTTE RHEAD'S SIGNATURE WITH "4491" ABOVE, AND AN IMPRESSED "148".

IT MEASURES 6" H x 9 1/2" W (HANDLE TO HANDLE) APPROX; AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO DEFECT I CAN DETECT, UNLESS IF YOU ARE REALLY PICKY THERE IS VERY SLIGHT WEAR TO THE 'ELBOWS' OF THE HANDLES.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PIECE OF POTTERY FROM A GREAT POTTER AT THE PEAK OF HER DESIGNING CAREER AND MADE BY A VERY GOOD POTTERY, AND AS SUCH SHOULD GENERATE MUCH INTEREST.
