Hanley Ware circular bowl, Lancaster and Sons, 1920s
A shallow circular bowl of compressed form, the rim turning in at the top, decorated to the top exterior with a continuous polychrome transfer design depicting a rustic landscape scene edged in black on a yellow lustre ground which is repeated on the interior, the base glazed white, with a transfer mark ‘Made in England’ above a lion couchant, ‘L&Sons Ltd’ above a shield shape panel with ‘Hanley Eng’ below, and impressed numbers ‘216’Lancaster & Sons Ltd were manufacturers of earthenware at the Dresden works, Tinkersclough, in the Shelton area of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The firm was founded in 1899 under the name ‘Lancaster and Barker’ was renamed ‘Lancaster & Sons Ltd’ in the early 1900s and continued production until 1944. In the 1920s they produced various pieces with rural landscape scenes of which this is an example. Some see reminiscences of the ‘Arts and Crafts’ movement here but the mark found on the bottom clearly dates the piece to the 1920s. The yellow lustre glaze is interesting and free from the crazing sometimes found.
