Pair of Art Nouveau Style Ceramic Vases decorated in the Japonisme Style, 1930s
A pair of Ceramic Vases, black glaze with gilt highlights in imitation of bronze, of flattened rectangular form, the body narrowing towards the neck which is modelled in a stylised art nouveau style floral design, set on each side with simple loop handles, the front decorated with Japanese Geisha figures in polychrome transfer, the bases marked 'No 214 MADE IN ENGLAND'.While Art Nouveau in form and decoration (Japanese inspired designs were very much a feature of the style), these vases probably date to the 1930s when Staffordshire potteries were producing affordable items for interior decoration in a range of imitation styles. There are no direct parallels for the mark on these vases but the type of ware here is very similar to pieces made by the 'Brentleigh' factory, Stoke on Trent, in the 1930s and a similar date and area of manufacture is the most likely.
