The Waning Days of Summer - I


 

English Art Deco Ceramic Vase with Persian Turquoise Glazing by Pilkington Royal Lancastrian (LEO Design)

 

If you're dreaming of turquoise waters—entering them, not just thinking about them—the time is now to take that dip.  Before long, the waters will have chilled and beach days will be behind us.  Of course, this handsome English Art Deco vase will bring you a remembrance of beaches past—all year long.  Made by Pilkington Royal Lancastrian in the 1920's or 1930's, it is finished with a luxurious jade-specked turquoise glaze—reminiscent of Persian Turquoise.  The bas relief diamond under-pattern adds energy and structure to the form.  Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
