Description: A delightful Pilkingtons Royal Lancastrian Art Pottery vase with a blue/green glaze.
The Pilkington brothers formed Pilkington�s Tile and Pottery Company in 1891. Production was initially limited to tiles with Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian art pottery developing under an employee, William Burton�s creative leadership from c.1903. Burton, who was a trained scientist, was also an authority on the history of ceramic art. After establishing the firm he concentrated on producing fine pottery in the style of the ancient Chinese and Persian potters. The end result was a level of quality rarely surpassed by any of Pilkington's competitors, and a range of art pottery that is still highly regarded, nearly 100 years later.
Impressed mark c. 1920-38
