Bidspirit auction | Two Old Tupton Ware Hand
Two Old Tupton Ware Hand Painted Tube Lined Ceramic Vases - This lot features two contemporary glazed ceramic vases produced by Old Tupton Ware, a brand known for creating pieces in the style of early 20th-century English art pottery. Both items are decorated using the tube-lining technique, where raised slip outlines are applied to the body before being hand-painted with colored glazes. The first vessel is a flared trumpet vase on a circular pedestal base, decorated with a continuous wrap-around Mediterranean landscape depicting rolling hills, rows of trees, and a village with red-roofed buildings. The second vessel is an ovoid-shaped vase featuring a floral motif of pendant bell-shaped flowers in pink, yellow, and lavender tones with elongated green foliage against a cream and teal shaded ground. The base of the ovoid vase bears a printed black backstamp consisting of a crown above the text Old Tupton Ware and Hand Painted.
