Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian Flambe Lustre Vase by Richard Joyce

A completely bonkers flambe lustre vase with relief moulded  fish and seaweed - 22cm in height with impressed marks and painted Richard Joyce monogram. This is a wonderful example of Great British eccentricity and technical innovation from the early 20th Century.

The ruby lustre glaze is a development of the scarlet and tangerine uranium galzes  introduced in 1903 by William Burton.

Sir Edmund Elton (b.1846 - d.1920)

Sir Edmund Elton was one of the most extraordinary English potters working in this hugely creative period of English Decorative ceramics. Men and women who pushed the boundaries in terms of design and glaze development to the extreme.

He started experimenting with liquid gold and platinum glaze effects from 1902 and produced metallic, crackle glazed ware which must rank among the most daring and beautiful pottery produced at the time.

A world class act - rock on Sir Elton.
