Fulham Pottery Mantle Vase

A simply stunning piece of Fulham Pottery, circa 1930s with curved 'hands on the hips' handles, undulating body, an oval footed base and finished unglazed. Hand-pressed white Devon clay and glazed on the inside only to ensure water tightness. The outside was left unglazed so the vases could be painted to match a clients room. 

Designed by William J Marriner in 1936/37 for the Alber Ware range for Fulham Pottery.  Mariner was a long time employee working alongside Florence Steadfast who was designing her friend, Constance Spry, infamous pieces. Vase A was the most successful piece designed and produced by Fulham Pottery and stayed in production until 1965.

Some small marks from age but great condition. No chips.

Stamped 'Fulham Pottery, Made in England'.  Inscribed F.M.A (Fulham Marriner Shape A).
