Potential collectors Chapman spent some time in China around 1917.Modelled on Chinese and Japanese bottle vases, this small vase almost certainly was designed by Christopher Dresser. It was made at the Linthorpe Art Pottery in Middlesbrough in about 1881. Dresser co-founded the pottery in 1879 and was its art director until 1882. The glaze has coagulated on the base during firing and has then been ground down. This ismon with Linthorpe. It is just possible to discern impressions of the shape number, 1314, and the beginning of the Linthorpe mark. Sections of unglazed fired clay are from where the vase stood on a tripod during glaze firing. CONDITION Excellent. A few glaze imperfections are from manufacture.
