Constance Spry for Fulham Pottery Two-Handled Mantel Vase

A charming original Constance Spry mantel vase, made by Fulham Pottery in London, with a beautifully sculpted form, softly waved rim and delicate looped handles at either end.

Designed by the celebrated florist Constance Spry, who transformed English flower arranging during the 1930s, this lovely vase reflects her preference for simple, understated vessels that allowed flowers and foliage to take centre stage. Its shallow, elongated bowl was designed for loose, natural arrangements, although we think it is just as beautiful displayed on its own, nestled amongst treasured objects in a display cabinet or as part of a carefully considered composition on a sideboard.

The satin white glaze has a lovely warmth to it, with soft cream tones inside the bowl and subtle variations acquired over time. A faint pink mark to the front, light grey marks on one handle and a few darker flecks in the glaze are consistent with its age and character. The vase remains in lovely condition, with no chips or cracks.
