EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases a stunning Vase from Burmantofts Pottery, dating back to the late 19th century. The ceramic masterpiece, with its captivating shape and intricate design, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of English School artists during that era. Burmantofts Pottery, named after the district in Leeds where it was located, initially specialized in manufacturing ceramic pipes and construction materials. However, by 1879, the company expanded its repertoire to include decorative bricks and tiles made of orange or buff-colored architectural terracotta. They also produced glazed bricks and terracotta (faience), as seen in this exquisite vase. The burnt orange glaze on this ovoid-shaped vessel creates a bold and eye-catching effect. Its bright colors are complemented by a colorful pattern that adds depth and dimension to the piece. The impressed dimples further enhance its unique texture. This photograph captures not only the beauty of British ceramics but also represents an important chapter in Burmantofts Pottery's history. It serves as a reminder of their significant contribution to architectural design during that period. Displayed at Leeds Museums and Galleries' Art Gallery in the United Kingdom, this remarkable vase continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless charm.
