Description
This is utterly exquisite. A large Carlton Ware Vase called "Fighting Cocks" on a Mottled Orange Lustre Background c1937-1941. It is in superb condition for age. The only minor flaw is some crazing that is on the underside/base only. The rest of the vase is flawless. The quality, and craftmanship of the artist are a wonder to behold. I apologize for my awful attempt at photography, but no photos could do it justice. I have had many people try to pry it out of my hands over the years, but it was treasured and displayed in pride of place. However, with an impending move it is time to let it go. This is a once in a lifetime find and chance to buy an exceptionally rare gem I have never before seen come up for sale in New Zealand. In trying to research this vase I only found small vase examples at very large prices sold overseas many years ago. No recent information seems to be available. The large vase stands a very proud 25cm tall and 23cm in diameter. It is decorated in "tracery style foliage, flowers and Roosters in bright enamel colours with beautiful fine gold/gilded plumage and detailing on a mottled orange background and apple green interior. It retains original paper label underneath with pattern #1388/?,,,4161. Pick up is preferred but will send extremely well packed nationwide. It will require a large box/double boxing. This is a one time offer, no fixed offer will be sent as it will otherwise be placed through a specialist auction. I just wanted serious collectors to be given a rare opportunity to purchase a rare gem that is bound to become the pride of their collection. Thank You for taking the time to view my listing.
