During the late 1890s and going forward into the 1920s and 30's Doulton employed Charles Noke who began to experiment and eventually replicate ancient Chinese glazes. Noke, together with Cuthbert Bailey assisted by Bernard Moore as a consultant, developed "Rouge Flambes" and "Sang de Boeuf" ceramics which were highly regarded at the time. These early wares developed into Doulton's much prized Sung and Chang ware produced during the 1920s and 30s.
This Sung vase signed by Fred Moore and dating from the 1920s is the result of the work Noke, Bailey and Bernard Moore started in the 1890s. Approximately 16cm high the glaze is simply stunning and reminiscent of the earlier Sung vase posted on 13 May 2012. Cosmic.
