A highly creative and beautifully executed Doulton Lambeth ewer from the middle period of Eliza Simmance’s career at Doulton. Usually the decoration of a ewer is symmetrical about a line through the handle. This ewer has two panels starting in the middle of one side and meeting at the other. The quality of the gazing is particularly good, with no overruns. The bead sizes are all very carefully graduated.
The ewer is 21cm (8.5in) tall. It has the impressed Doulton Lambeth mark with the word ‘ENGLAND’ dating the ewer to the period 1892-1902. It also has the incised monograms of Eliza Simmance and Margaret Aitken, and Eliza Simmance’s number - 194. The ewer weighs 807g.
The ewer is in mint condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, restoration or significant scratches.
