About the Item
An elegant ceramic vase by Beswick, handcrafted in England during the 1930s—a period when Art Deco design explored both bold geometry and classical revival. This sculptural piece presents a rounded rectangular form that gently curves into an oval pedestal base, a silhouette that feels architectural yet organic.
The front and reverse are each decorated in relief with a mythological vignette of Pan and a Nymph, a motif that evokes the romanticism of neoclassicism while framed in the clean, stylised lines characteristic of British Art Deco. Oak leaf medallions accent each side, adding visual balance and reinforcing the vase’s decorative intent.
The pale blue glaze is softly variegated with ochre tones, applied in a subtle drip technique that lends the surface a sense of movement and depth. The finish enhances the dimensionality of the figural reliefs while introducing a painterly softness that offsets the otherwise structured form.
Measuring approximately 26 cm in height, 19 cm in width, and 9.5 cm in depth. The condition is good, consistent with age and use: glaze crazing, and a single tension hairline to the reverse, which has been professionally treated and stabilised via resin injection. Please consult the images for a closer inspection. Impressed underside mark: Beswick England and model number 1095.
This piece was likely intended as a mantle vase, though its sculptural quality invites display as a decorative object in its own right. A nuanced and evocative example of English Art Deco ceramic design—equally collectible and display-worthy.

Athens
Vase by Thomas Forester
Sons, England, 1930s

Located in Glasgow, GB
An original Art Deco ceramic vase by Thomas Forester
Sons, crafted in Staffordshire, England during the early 1930s. This distinctive piece belongs to the firm’s ‘Athens’ collection—a short-run series now highly regarded among collectors of British ceramics and Art Deco pottery.
The vase is defined by its elongated tubular profile, flaring subtly to form a softly bulging centre. Its surface is decorated with rows of acanthus leaves in pale blue relief, curling rhythmically around the body. The crisp blue detailing sits against a backdrop of deep russet and ochre glazes, a palette typical of Forester’s output in the early 20th century and evocative of the broader Art Deco design movement in Britain.
Standing 26 cm tall with a diameter of 14 cm, the vase is stamped to the base with the Phoenix Ware...
