A stunning, early Ruskin high fired vase Cica. 1901 -1905

A small high fired, early "Sang de Beouf" vase with stunning lilac blooming. This small vase of approximately 8cm in height has the very early impressed WHT monogram which dates it from between 1901 to 1905 - one of the earliest examples of William Howson Taylor's mastery of high temperature reduction fired glazes that I have seen. It guarantees his place in the history of galze development in Europe along with contemporaries in France and Germany who set out to recreate the 'lost' glazes from Qing dynasty potters produced many centuries earlier.
