Description
A broad flared mouth opens above the narrow waist of this Lucia Ware vase, balancing its rounded lower body. Horizontal moulded bands encircle the waist and base, with glossy green glaze pooling around the details. Lighter streaks and darker areas follow the changing profile of the ceramic form.
Lucia Ware is the supplied maker identification for this South African ceramic piece, associated with Boksburg East Potteries. The supplied dating places it broadly in the mid 20th century, around 1945 and the 1950s, rather than establishing an exact year of manufacture. The underside photographs show the LUCIA name and model number 5008. Related forms and makers appear in the South African Ceramics collection.
