Pair of Wade green glazed Mermaid salts, 1950s
A pair of ceramic salts in the form of a slender organic urn, green glazed with moulded handles in the form of mermaids and moulded decoration of sea urchins, aquatic reeds and seaweed, the base unglazed and with a raised mark ‘Wade’ ‘England’.Wade Ceramics Ltd was a manufacturer of porcelain and earthenware, headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Founded in 1867, it was run by various members of the Wade family until the death of George Anthony Wade in 1987 after which there was a succession of management buyouts. Despite substantial investment in 2009, the firm eventually went into administration in 2022. Wade produced a wide variety of ceramics, including the well known Wade Whimsies animal figurines.
This pair of salts is rather different to many of their productions and have a distinctly ‘Art Nouveau’ feel but, in fact, date to the 1950s when this particular format of the factory mark was used. It seems to be one of the rarer forms and pairs are even rarer still, so definitely one for Wade collectors!
