Fishley Holland Urn Shaped Vase with Hawthorn Leaf Motif

This is an attractive rustic example of a small flower vase or pot by Fishley Holland.

The vase is of classic urn shape with a slightly flared rim. The body is of tapering globular form. The interior is glazed with a pale blue and the exterior with a mottled mauve-grey-brown. It is decorated three times around the body with impressed leaves, which I believe to be from a Midland Hawthorn. These impressions have then been glazed in pale brown. Around the stem of each leaf is a collection of three sets of six raised white dots in slip.

The base is messily finished, with glaze drips and smudges. It is incised on the underside with the letters ‘FH’.

It has a height of approximately 10.1cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 9.2cm and across the base of about 5.7cm.

It has an unwrapped weight of 280g.

It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
