In 1897 The Magazine of Art described her as ‘a designer of striking originality’. She later worked for Doulton. The second mark, ‘V’ , perhaps indicates that the sides of the vase were decoraterd by Violet Woodhouse, at the pottery c.1895-1900 and known for her simple linear leaf and stem shapes. The Della Robbia Pottery, founded by Harold Rathbone and Conrad Dressler. From 1894 until closure in 1906 it produced a range of decorative ceramics in Art Nouveau style and influenced by 15th and 16th century Italian ceramics. Following the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, pieces were hand thrown and decorated and individual decorators encouraged to mark their work. Typically, designs were set out in sgraffito over white slip and coloured with special fluid colours, formed from pigments mixed with water and gum arabic, which blended with the glaze to give exceptionally bright hues. reference term-97680 adlib-term-97680 d0493beb-d54a-30ea-970d-e525d2e9403e Victoria reference term-108847 adlib-term-108847 f1b73d1e-5fb0-3014-b7fe-1c4be0311f76 literal England England country literal Cheshire Cheshire region Birkenhead reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 35.5 Width cm 16 reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference term-107609 adlib-term-107609 71b65ef8-c0fb-319e-925f-37526bfc6764 flask history note Lent by Rita Smythe, 2018 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-8587 adlib-publication-8587 cede86b0-4f79-32f5-b4de-78e9dc3b870f The Della Robbia Pottery Birkenhead 1894-1906
