Antique English Studio Pottery Figurine ~ "The Tulip Woman" ~ Charles Vyse

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Antiques4EU
Description

A rare and colourful Early 20th Century Antique English Studio Pottery Figurine, "The Tulip Woman" produced by Charles Vyse , { 1882 - 1971 } at his Chelsea, London studio, Circa 1921. Interestingly, given that this figurine was first introduced in 1921, the catalogue of the exhibition arranged by Richard Dennis in conjunction with The Fine Art Society, held at 148 New Bond Street, London, from 3rd to 20th December 1974, records the figurine there illustrated, which dates from 1922, as standing just 9.75 inches in height, which would seem to suggest that this particular piece is probably one of the earliest models produced. The underside fully marked in underglaze blue with the Potter's painted monogram CV CHELSEA 1921, this together with an affixed paper label which reads , "Left to Mary Eddison by Hilda Sharp { 1970 } Chelsea China figure by Charles Vyse "Tulip Woman".

Height ~ 26.70 cm. / 10.50 inches ~ Width ~ 19.00 cm. / 7.50 inches ~ Depth ~ 10.80 cm. / 4.25 inches ~ Year ~ Circa 1921

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

English studio pottery from this era is characterised by independent ceramic artists designing, modelling, and hand-glaze sculpting individual pieces rather than mass factory production. Figures frequently depicted street vendors, local characters, or classical motifs executed in polychrome earthenware.

Artists cast or press-moulded earthenware clay, fired the body, and subsequently applied lead or tin-based coloured glazes. Multiple precision kiln firings were often required to achieve stable polychrome surface finishes.

Authentic studio pieces typically display incised or painted artist monograms, initials, or studio marks on the underside of the base. Collectors also inspect glaze characteristics, modelling detail, and recorded catalogue raisonne references.

Sculptural ceramics function as tactile focal points when placed on bespoke shelving, glass display cabinets, or wooden mantelpieces. Layering figurative pieces among books or neutral backdrop surfaces highlights their sculpted contours and colour schemes.

Glazed ceramics should be dusted gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid immersed washing or harsh chemical cleaners, particularly near fine detailed extremities or unglazed foot rings.
