Description
A broad opening and inward-curving rim define this glossy black Lucia Ware model 2205 posy vase.
The underside bears the impressed LUCIA mark and model number 2205. Lucia Ware is a range from Boksburg East Potteries in Boksburg, South Africa. The compact rounded body has no handles or painted decoration, allowing the black glaze and continuous curve to define the shape. Posy vase describes the form here; the original catalogue name is unconfirmed. It offers a contrast with the maker's longer trough and gondola designs, while retaining the same emphasis on a glazed decorative surface. For comparison, the Lucia Ware 4005 Green Bird and Log Posy Vase and the Lucia Ware Black Ceramic Mantel Vase Style 5803 provide related examples of form, decoration or maker within the store.
