Large Shouldered vase, Richard Brooks, 1950s. Australia. sold Originally presented to the Sheffield

Originally presented to the Sheffield firm of Dixon and Sons as a design by Christopher Dresser (of which he sold them thirty seven ambitious blueprints) this 20th century reproduction - yet amazingly patinated - 'donut' footed teapot is one of the more recognisable from the range

A bold and often used deep blue salt glaze graces the surface of the jug

The root of this design can interestingly be traced back to the Middle Ages

the motor is undamaged but not wired due to safety reasons - it is something that can be easily admired as a showpiece nevertheless
