Shelley Harmony Ware Vase glazed in shades of orange, yellow and grey, 1930s
A ceramic vase the broad slightly conical body narrowing towards the wide bulbous neck, the surface slightly ribbed and painted with various shades of ‘spun’ decoration in shades of orange, yellow and grey, the base glazed yellow and with a transfer mark ‘Shelley England’ and the impressed numbers ‘990’ presumably denoting the model number. Shelley Potteries, situated in Staffordshire, was originally known as Wileman & Co. which had also traded under the name ‘The Foley Potteries’. The first Shelley to join the company was Joseph Ball Shelley in 1862, and it remained a Shelley family business until 1966, when it was taken over by Allied English Potteries. Josph’s son Percy employed first the designer Frederick Rhead then Walter Slater who had worked with Doulton. It was Walter Slater’s son, Eric, who initiated the ‘Harmony’ range in 1932, at first with a series of banded designs as here and then with drip ware patterns which became enormously popular. Harmony ware was produced in a wide variety of colours and this auction includes three vases examples which well reflect the range.| Size: | Ht 26cm, Width (max) 14cm, Base Diam 12cm |
