Della Robbia Pottery (1894 - 1906)

Probably the finest pottery to emerge from the Arts and Crafts movement in England. In fact the "Jewel in the Crown" considering pieces were purchased  by King George V, Queen Victoria and Edward VII.

This huge vase and cover , nearly 12 inches high and 30 inches in circumference, would probably have been an exhibition piece. Painted by Liza Wilkins and with the throwers mark incised- usually a sign of a high quality piece - this is a stunning example of a short-lived pottery from "Great Britain".
