AgAu Jewellery has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Seemingly Ayrton tried to incorporate as much colour as possible into these vases, the pictures more than any decription will sell these pieces. Having for hour been trying to find a matching or similar pair of vases, as opposed to cups or plates, I’ve been unable to found anything remotely similar. They are in great condition as the pictures will attest, the gilding on both is ornate and beautifully handed painted, within the guilding not only do you have the gorgeous blue, but colours of light green almost turquoise and pink. This is before you get to the main central art works, the vividness of his scenes even after all these years is splendid. The dimensions of both these vases are 7”high, 3” from gilded handle to handle and 3” deep. I’ve seen H.Ayrton's work before in this powdered blue form, but only in display plates and cups and saucers, never in two matching vases from the same year, signed. Ayrton started at Royal Worcester in 1920 and worked until his retirement in 1970, making these some of Harry Ayrton's earliest work and thus some of his oldest surviving works. It’s like the vigour of youth exploded onto porcelain with dynamic lustre and unrestrained colour.
