About the Item

An elegant Art Deco solifleur vase in cobalt blue ceramic, handcrafted in Staffordshire, England by George Clews during the 1930s. This piece belongs to the maker’s renowned Chameleon Ware line — a collection celebrated for its experimental glazes and fluid, expressive forms. The vase is finished in a vivid cobalt blue drip glaze, characteristic of Chameleon Ware, where tonal variation and inky pooling create visual depth and a painterly surface. The plum-shaped silhouette, with its wide rounded base and long, slender neck, is typical of early 20th-century solifleur vase forms and was designed for displaying a single stem or decorative sprig. Measuring 16 cm in height and 13 cm at its widest, this vintage Art Deco vase remains in very good condition with no structural damage, only minor age-related wear. It retains its original George Clews stamp in black on the underside — a mark of its English ceramic heritage. A distinctive example of British Art Deco pottery, this vase will appeal to collectors of Chameleon Ware ceramics, 1930s decorative arts, or early studio-style glazes. Ideal for display in curated interiors or period collections.
