Poirot Art Deco has dated this piece to the 1930s.
The tall vase, shape number 128 and stamped ‘Beswick Ware, Made in England’. This was a popular shape vase and unusually reissued several times although the decoration changed.
Mr Symcox worked for Beswick between 1933 and 1942 as a freelance sculptor.
The British Industry Fair of 1934 showcased a 100 new vases and jug, mostly modelled by Mr Symcox. His contribution was essential to the new matt glazes used in the 1930s.
His design of these two pieces fully embraced the Art Deco style with a fabulous hand painted stylised cottage, trees and flowers. Painted in a simple palette of shades of green, with a thin outline of blue for the clouds and a gold outline colour way for the cottage and bushes. Simply designed but full of detail even showing the smoke emitted from the chimneys.
No chips or cracks to the two pieces.
From a Beswick pottery collector of forty years.
