Dimensions:
height 200 mm max.
Marks:
As illustrated including the artist's monogram for Richard
Joyce surmounted by his individual date cypher (a crown) for
1919.
Condition:
In wonderful decorative display condition with no damage chips and no restoration. There is a typical
network of fine crazing to the glass like glaze - visible when viewed
through a magnifying glass. A small dog-leg hairline area
of this crazing can be felt on the surface as it is slightly raised.
This crazing appears to be the product of firing. Minor defects
are to be expected in antique art pottery of this period where
experimentation produced unpredictable results and kiln losses were
often high. Overall a great piece.
