BARUM WARE ARTIST JAMES DEWDNEY: SIGNED HAND MADE & DECORATED DEVON ART POTTERY VASE, LIBERTY STYLE C.H. BRANNAM 1905
"A stunning Barum Ware English art pottery hand crafted vase, designed and decorated by talented C.H. Brannam artist James Dewdney. It was potted during their 'golden age'. In the eyes of contemporaries, Brannam English Art pottery products rivaled those of Doulton and the Martin Brothers. Barum Ware was sold through Liberty London, the leading art nouveau retailer of the age." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
 
References: James Dewdney was arguably the best of the Devon Brannam art potters. This 1905 work was one of his last for C.H. Brannam. He left in 1906 as Brannam concentrated on more uniform Liberty production line designs and later garden pots. What Dewdney did next remains a bit of a mystery? Barum Ware art pottery pieces, including more works by James Dewdney, are illustrated in English Art Pottery 1865-1915, Malcolm Haslam (ACC 1975) Figure 90-98 pp. 149-153.
Dimensions: height 180 mm max. width (across handles) 205 mm max.
Marks: Dated 1905 and signed by the artist, J.D monogram for James Dewdney to base, see below.
Condition: In good general display condition. There are no significant chips or cracks to pottery body. No restoration. Note some surface glaze flaking to thick majolica style decorative finish in places: not uncommon with art pottery of this period - as found on Della Robbia and Elton Wares. This does not spoil the overall attractiveness and enjoyment of a decorative and rare surviving example. A good restorer could make good, near invisible, decorative cosmetic repair if required.
