CHRISTOPHER DRESSER OLD HALL JAPANESE AESTHETIC
STYLE ELEPHANT HEADS POTTERY VASE C.1884-86
"Christopher
Dresser designs are stylish and highly original. His Old
Hall pottery designs are some of the best examples of Dresser's
identified design work for the Staffordshire potters. This very
attractive and
collectable Aesthetic Old Hall earthenware vase illustrates Dresser
style at work in both the shape of
the vase - with the
extravagant elephant head handles and in decoration with distinctive
Japanese influenced
Aesthetic style pattern motifs. An important design
that epitomises the best of English Staffordshire Victorian art
pottery.

In very good display condition. There are no chips, breaks, missing
pieces or restoration. There is a fine network of crazing to the glaze
of the vase as is often found on Old Hall earthenware vases. A few
traces of rubbing wear to the painted black line border and
gold line to base that do not detract from the overall decoration and
decorative qualities.
