Feeling Blue - IV


English Arts & Crafts Pot with Dappled, Cobalt Glazing by Pilkington Royal Lancastrian (LEO Design)

 

This week we've been sharing some of our handsome blue pieces—an attempt to brighten the national "blue mood" as a bitter frost assaults our country.  Let's hope for a change in the weather.

The simplicity of the English Arts & Crafts vase, shown above, belies the technical and aesthetic beauty of the piece.  The voluptuous shape seems to curve sensuously in all the right places.  And the softly-dappled cobalt glazing is simultaneously simple and complex, at once soft and bold.  The form and the glazing are satisfyingly executed—whether the vase is displayed alone or within a larger group of ceramics.  Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome piece.

More "Feeling Blue" tomorrow and in the days to come.
