About the Item
A striking small-scale ceramic vase from the 1930s, crafted by Ditmar Urbach—one of Czechoslovakia’s leading ceramic manufacturers of the interwar period. This distinctive piece belongs to the factory's avant-garde Alienware series, a line that merged organic forms with fantastical, futuristic detailing, echoing the forward-looking spirit of early 20th-century modernist design.
Moulded in a stylised urn silhouette, the vase features two looped side handles and a subtly ridged body, coated in a finely crackled ivory glaze. Bright cobalt blue speckles punctuate the surface, adding vibrancy to the muted base tone. Most striking is the central front cartouche: a panel of swirling black Art Deco motifs, sharply outlined by a luminous border of acid green—an unexpected combination that defines the series’ otherworldly appeal.
The vase stands 18.5 cm tall with a diameter of approximately 8 cm, making it a compact decorative piece ideal for displaying a single stem or as a standalone sculptural object. A compelling example of 1930s Czech pottery, this Alienware vase showcases Ditmar Urbach’s experimental edge and reflects the era’s fascination with both ancient forms and speculative aesthetics.
In good vintage condition, with only minor wear consistent with age.

Athens
Vase by Thomas Forester

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...
