Re: Antique Art Pottery
I'm thinking more Continental, Austria/Germany, but yes, Late 19th early 20thC.
Re: Antique Art Pottery
Probably wishful thinking on my behalf. To be fair, you know a dearth more than me in this area. Thanks for the feedback denby, much appreciated

Re: Antique Art Pottery
Is the mark in the centre of the base the remains of a paper label?

Re: Antique Art Pottery
That does suggest that it was an inexpensive item when originally sold.

Re: Antique Art Pottery
I feel like I want to be defensive of it having read your response studio, hahaha, daft as that sounds.
I appreciate it is nothing spectacular, but some work went into it and whilst the flowers aren't going to win any plaudits, the glaze is lovely. When turned back to front it displays really well, that says it all hahaha.

Re: Antique Art Pottery
All I said was "inexpensive"
What I meant was that the pottery body doesn't look good quality but I wasn't commenting of the painter/paintress and their work. Hundreds if not thousands of people were employed throughout the potteries doing this type of work and that is going to vary from one pot to another whatever the cost of producing the pot they were decorating.

Re: Antique Art Pottery
I know studio, no criticism of your comment at all, which was completely reasonable.
I was laughing at my daft inclination to defend it, which was unnecessary / unwarranted, but amusing.

Re: Antique Art Pottery
I felt the need explain a "cheap tat" comment by another "senior" team member on another post a few days ago, so I know where you are coming from. It's very easy for old gits like myself, who think that they have seen it all, to dampen people's enthusiasm.
