Sir Edmund Harry Elton Sunflower Studio Pottery Vase, Circa 1890

This rare art pottery vase was made by the aristocratic potter, Sir Edmund Harry Elton at his sunflower pottery studio at Clevedon Court, Somerset, England, circa 1890. He produced these exotic wares in very small numbers as individual pieces which were retailed at high class shops in England and America at exclusively high prices. This pleasing example has a bulbous body which rises and tapers into a slender neck. Just below this, the upper body is decorated with three raised and domed roundels. The tall neck is divided near its base with a moulded raised collar and the rim is finished with a crimped edge. The main decoration is to the front of the body which is ornately decorated with a raised trailing stem of clematis with three flower heads and several leaves. As ever with these fine pieces this example has a wonderful glaze and the colouring is superb in rich tones of blue, green, brown and beige which flow together forming a marbled effect. A very pleasing example from this rare English potter. In excellent original condition with no restoration, clearly signed Elton on the base.
