Pair of Alhambrian Ware English Majolica Vases with raised decoration circa 1880
Pair of English Alhambrian Ware Majolica Vases of ovoid form with moulded bases and a short flaring neck, decorated in multicoloured glazes, mainly ochre and blue, in imitation of continental 'majolica' wares, the body and neck with a modelled basket work design in mustard brown set with raised panels of flower heads, the base and top rim finished in a blue glaze with the mustard brown glaze repeated on the interior. The foot rim unglazed with a cream glaze to the centre with a stamped or transfer mark in iron red which reads 'Alhambrian'. Alhambrian marked wares were produced by one of the Staffordshire potteries between 1880 and 1910, reflecting the craze for Majolica glazed wares produced by Minton and others. The pieces are very modest imitations but quite decorative in their own right. The form here was quite commonly produced and no doubt intended as a mantel piece ornament.Size: | Ht 16cm Base 5cm |

Date: | 1900 |
Condition: | Good condition overall, but each vase with an area of small old restoration at the top (see last image); one vase slightly mispotted and with a slight lean when seen from certain angles. |
Estimate: | £20 – 30 |
