Description
Lady head wall pockets are among the most evocative and collectible forms in mid-20th century decorative ceramics — and this ivory-glazed example is a particularly graceful specimen.
Modelled with a serene lady's face, flowing hair and draped sculptural form, this wall pocket vase is finished in a soft ivory glaze and attributed to Drostdy Ware. The open back makes it suitable for wall display with dried or artificial florals, or as a standalone sculptural piece in a cabinet or on a shelf. Lady head vases and wall pockets from South African manufacturers are increasingly sought after by specialist collectors.
