This Alexander Lauder Pottery Barnstaple wall pocket dates from circa 1890 during the Arts and Crafts period. The earthenware piece takes a fish form with a glazed finish in blue, purple, and green tones, featuring textured scales, an open mouth vessel forming the rim, and detailed tail fins. The tips of the tail have old restoration, and a trail of slip runs across the back. Measuring 17 cm in height and 16 cm in width, this small decorative vessel is suited for display on narrow wall spaces in a coastal retreat or cottage style interior. It functions well for holding lightweight dried stems or simply as a sculptural wall hanging.

FAQs

A ceramic wall pocket is a decorative vessel designed to mount flat against a wall, traditionally used to hold fresh or dried flowers, letters, or small household items. Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, these pieces were produced by various art potteries in stylized flora and fauna shapes.

Most late nineteenth-century wall pockets were press-moulded or hand-modelled using earthenware clay before being decorated with slip, incised details, or lead glazes. The reverse side features a flat back with a pre-moulded aperture for hanging securely against a wall surface.

Authentic period art pottery often features incised factory marks, impressed stamps, or artist monograms on the reverse or base. Additionally, period pieces display distinct craquelure in the glaze, depth of tone from traditional glazing techniques, and hand-finishing details around the rims and relief work.

A glazed pottery wall pocket can be mounted as part of a gallery wall, positioned in a narrow hallway, or incorporated into a bathroom setting to introduce texture. Styling with dried botanical stems or trailing plants complements the sculpted relief form.

Glaze surfaces should be dusted regularly with a dry, soft cloth and wiped with lukewarm water and mild soap when necessary. Submersion in water should be avoided to prevent moisture from entering unglazed clay areas or fine glaze crazing.
