Cranston Ware Art Nouveau Style Vase, early C20th
A ceramic vase of bottle form, the broad compressed globular body with a tubular neck terminating in a ‘garlic’ rim, glazed overall in a mottled effect employing tones of mustard, blue and green with two stylised motifs of leaves and grapes on the neck, the interior also with a mottled glaze and the base glazed white with a stamped mark ‘CRANSTON’ ‘POTTERY’ in an oval frame with two globes in the centre displaying a banner ‘P P CO LTD’ and a script mark ‘52/4’.Cranston Ware was one of the ranges produced by the Pearl Pottery Company, based in Hanley, Stoke on Trent. Founded in 1892, the firm produced a varied selection of ceramic wares, often following contemporary fashions, until its closure in 1947. This vase is demonstrably in the Art Nouveau style and would have been produced when it was at its zenith in the early 1900s. The pattern was known as ‘Tukan’ ware and some of the pieces, but not all, have an impressed mark displaying this. This is an excellent example of the type with the glazes and decorative detail well rendered and certainly deserves the attention of collectors of Art Nouveau.
