Object Description
A very unusual Aesthetic Movement biscuit fired Doulton Lambeth stoneware vase pigment hand-painted with stylized foliage and geometric designs by Minnie G Thompson and dated 1883. The tall vase stands on a wide round pedestal foot with a tapering bulbous round body with a narrowing shoulder and slender top with a shaped trumpet opening. The vase is made in a light brown tinted clay and is unglazed with finely hand painted patterns applied in black and blue pigments combining trailing stylized foliage designs within bold black geometric patterns. The vase has an impressed makers mark to the base along with incised artist marks and is dated 1883.
