Maker: Grimwades  Pattern: Delph

Where to begin to describe this piece! Beautifully printed in a soft shade of blue this jardiniere has ornate moulded flower decoration around the rolled rim and in between the four pattern cartouches giving it a somewhat Art Nouveau style although a little before its time!
On one of the cartouches there are some ink spots under the glaze. There is a light crazing, which is noticeable mainly inside where it has absorbed some minor staining. Finally four small vignettes of pattern to the inside rim and you have a most ornate and decorative piece.

Dimensions: 19.5 cm high, diameter at top 26.5 cm / 7.75 ins high, diameter at top 10.5 ins
