Description
A pebbled surface distinguishes this squat Lucia Ware round vase, contrasting with the smooth raised rim around its circular opening. A quieter horizontal band interrupts the texture around the body. Glossy green glaze pools between the raised details, producing a mottled pattern of lighter and darker green.
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 4407. Related forms and makers appear in the South African Ceramics collection.
