Gray's Pottery Hand Painted Lustreware Bowl
This attractive hand-painted Gray's Pottery bowl showcases the distinctive decorative style that made the Stoke-on-Trent pottery firm popular during the early twentieth century. The bowl features a warm ivory ground accented by rich copper lustre trim, stylized floral motifs in shades of purple and mauve, and clusters of orange berries arranged in an elegant repeating pattern. The scalloped rim and lustre accents give the piece a refined Art Deco-era appearance while retaining the charm of hand-decorated English pottery.
Gray's Pottery operated in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and became well known during the 1920s and 1930s for its colorful hand-painted wares and innovative decorative designs. Lustreware pieces such as this remain highly collectible among enthusiasts of British ceramics and Art Deco tableware.
This piece was acquired at an estate auction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
