Description
Few South African potteries carry the historical weight of Drostdy Grahamstown — and this striking black mantel vase is a fine example of their mid-century output at its most dramatic.
Finished in a glossy black glaze, this substantial mantel vase features a raised footed base, fluted moulded body detail and twin scroll-style handles. The bold form and rich black glaze give it a commanding presence on any mantelpiece or sideboard, and the twin scroll handles add a classical decorative flourish. Drostdy Grahamstown pieces from the circa 1950 period are increasingly sought after by collectors of South African studio and decorative pottery.
