Damara | 25cm

This is a beautiful, very rare midcentury Beswick Zebrette vase, designed by Albert Hallam, with a zebra stripe pattern in black and off white with a yellow interior.

THE STORY: An original piece from the 1950s, manufactured in the United Kingdom, and features a printed backstamp. 

This vivid work of of mid-century modernist design is by Albert Hallam for British Pottery Beswick, a firmly celebrated name in British ceramics design. The stylised and elegant bottle form rested against the draped cushioning is just one of a range of creative and unexpected designs found in the Zebrette series. The semi-matte satin glaze décor is a base of Chiffon cream that is overlaid with the hand-painted sable black stripes. The interior is an application gloss glaze in bright yellow, creating a striking contrast. 

This refined piece is stylistically contemporary and yet also prominently of the mid-century vivaciousness, the combination of the form with the colour palette and condition makes it a rare find.

Condition: There is some crazing and a tiny chip to the base.
