This pair of early Art Deco Bursley Ware ceramic candlesticks designed by Susie Cooper dates from the 1920 period. The earthenware pieces display a hand-painted polychrome glaze incorporating bold orange, green, blue, yellow, and black colours, featuring a geometric lattice pattern across a square base, tapered column, and square top with a circular candle opening. Both items measure 7.5 cm in height, 7.0 cm in width, and 7.0 cm in depth. Ideal for everyday placement on a mantelpiece, the candlesticks serve as a functional decorative accessory for interior settings. The antique condition includes no chips, cracks, repairs, or re-touching, retaining maker stamps and handwritten pattern numbers underneath the base.

FAQs

Early Art Deco Bursley Ware ceramics are characterised by bold geometric patterns, vibrant hand-painted glazes, and stylized natural forms introduced during the 1920s. Designers such as Susie Cooper brought modern abstract motifs and vivid colour palettes to traditional Staffordshire earthenware.

Pieces were typically crafted from earthenware clay, cast into geometric or simplified forms, and covered in an opaque cream glaze. Decorators applied coloured enamel glazes by hand before a final low-temperature firing to fix the bright hues.

Authentic items generally feature impressed or printed Bursley Ware backstamps on the underside, often alongside painted pattern numbers or designer initials. The distinctive abstract foliage and lattice motifs rendered in vibrant enamels are key indicators of her 1920s work.

Position them as a pair on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table centre to add geometric interest and colour accents. Their bold shapes complement contemporary minimalist settings as well as eclectic, period-inspired rooms.

Wipe surfaces gently with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that could damage the overglaze enamels. Do not submerge cold-painted or earthenware ceramics in water or place them in a dishwasher.
