VICTORIAN ALLER VALE DEVON ART POTTERY
MAJOLICA GLAZE NORMANDY JUG C.1887-1891
"An attractive antique British
art pottery jug made by the Aller Vale pottery and all over decorated
in a distinctive attractive majolica type drip-glaze. This
stunning running green glaze effect on cream ground was known at the
Aller Vale Art Pottery as the Normandy
pattern/finish. It was a colour scheme later much copied by others and
sold through Liberty of London - the famous art nouveau and arts and
crafts retailer. This piece is one of the earlier outputs from the
Aller Vale pottery and dates circa 1897-1891. These early Victorian Devon art pottery
pieces are become scarce and hard to find as they disappear into
worldwide collector cabinets and distinctive decor schemes..." Antiques Expert
