A pillar vase from English pottery Crown Ducal (A.G. Richardson & Co, Tunstall in the Staffordshire Potteries) - cobalt blue with lustre glaze internal neck, gilded rims and gold pattern of pine branches and needles. There is a humming bird in coloured enamels and gold on one side, and a butterfly on the other. Beautiful design in very good condition. The maker’s mark dates it at 1925 plus - probably early 1930s. Vase measures 15 cm high and 7.5 cm diameter at the top (6 inches by 3 inches). Excellent condition for the gilding and lustre - Has an internal V hairline in the base, but this doesn’t show through to the underneath outside, so more like a crazing mark.
