Royal Doulton Chang vase by Charles Noke and Harry Nixon

During the 1920's Charles Noke and Harry Nixon continued to experiment with high temperature fired glazes, extending the research Noke, Slater and Bailey had done in the late 1890's and early 1900's, and in 1925 they produced Chang Ware which had a heavier body than Sung Ware and was brightly coloured with thick congealed glazes.

This stunning example is covered in a thick running glaze in shades of yellow, red and dark brown flambé and crackled white over a mottled flambé ground decorated with a band of berries and foliage. It is 12 cm high.
