Maker: Kent  Pattern: Ye Olde Foley

James Kent's famous Ye Olde Foley Ware with delightful rural scenes set within foliage. These vases are the most ornate we have seen in this design, with the most amazing scroll side handles and a white foot decorated with bold brush strokes in cobalt. The same scene appears on both vases and on both sides.
These vases are in near perfect condition.
On one vase the tip of one "point" on the rim has been off and professionally restored. On both the glaze has a little fine crazing and is also a bit gritty. Because of the complexity of the shape there are a few signs of "stress lines" in the firing. We try to mention everything, but frankly these are just wonderful. Extremely decorative, rare and above all a pair in a collected design.
