A beautiful vintage vase from the "Harvest Ware" range by Wade Heath & Co. of Burslem, Staffordshire, England, made circa 1947–1955. The full, rounded body sits on a low splayed foot and rises to a short rolled neck, giving it a classic mid-century silhouette.
The decoration is hand-painted under a clear glaze: sweeping, spiraling leaves in olive green and deep burgundy alternate with cream bands, while a stippled band of fine dots with a winding vine runs between them up to pointed leaf motifs below the neck. A burgundy band circles the foot. Because each piece was painted by hand, the brushwork gives it a character of its own.
Perfect for collectors of Wade and English pottery, and for anyone who loves mid-century, cottage, English country or eclectic décor. Lovely on its own on a mantel, console or shelf, or filled with fresh or dried flowers.
