An excellent pair of near-identical early 20th century Doulton Lambeth Slater’s Studio Pottery stoneware vases decorated by Ms. LF Bowen and Florrie Jonas respectively circa 1900s. These vases encapsulate the transition period between High Victorian / Edwardian to Art Nouveau. The craftsmanship of earlier periods are displayed in the elegant silhouette, the tube lining and beadwork techniques used as well as the stylised hand-painted floral motifs to the body. Slater was known for innovative techniques such as creating lace-like patterns in his pottery, which is beautifully seen here and accentuated with gilt details.
A beautiful cobalt blue ground to body and olive tones to neck and shoulders of vase.
Incised Doulton and Slater’s patent marks to both vases, as well as
Price marked at $1800 AUD for the pair. Measurements: One signed by Florrie Jonas approx. 30.5 cm high, 15cm diameter. One signed by Ms Bowen 30cm high, 14.5cm diameter. Excellent antique condition with minor firing flaws to glaze and wear to base commensurate with age.
