TG Green & Co operated from 1864 - 2007 and were best known for their everyday pottery, including a popular Cornishware range. However in the late 19th/early 20th century they developed the Ivanhoe range, possibly in collaboration with Sir Christopher Dresser who was working with other local potteries at the time. Influenced by the arts and crafts movement the designs featured organic floral motifs decorated with slip, and were more artistic and ambitious than their usual offerings. The range is becoming increasingly scarce, with examples held in museum collections. More information can be found at http://www.gresleypottery.uk and if you look at their pinterest archive, you will see other examples of this design.
Condition: There is a hairline crack from the rim, which is more visible from the inside of the vase. There is a semi-circular flaw at the base - I can’t tell if this is something that has been damaged and restored or if it was damage caused during the manufacturing process. There are a couple of small nibbles around the base. Crazing to the glaze throughout. These flaws are reflected in the price - it is still a very lovely vase!
Dimensions:
