About the Item
Produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, this tall ceramic vase is part of the now-celebrated ‘Alienware’ series by Ditmar Urbach, a manufacturer known for blending Art Deco forms with futuristic surface treatments.
The piece features a sculptural urn silhouette with an elongated body, circular foot, and twin angular handles—echoes of classical vessels subtly subverted by the applied decoration. Finished in a distinctive craquelure glaze of soft buttermilk and pale ochre tones, the front is embellished with a stylised metallic rosette, edged in an unexpected acid green halo—an element that gave the series its cult nickname.
Marked ‘1888’ to the underside, the vase stands approximately 28 cm high and 12 cm in diameter. It remains in good condition overall, some wear to the metallic rosette along with a few minor nicks and irregularities to the base—likely original to its firing and glaze process, rather than wear.
A striking example of early 20th-century Czech ceramic design, bridging classical form and imaginative modernist decoration.

Art Deco Ceramic
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...
