Harwyn Pottery painted Ambrico glazed ware.

Arthur and Alice Partridge ran Harwyn Pottery and bought glazed vases from Ambrico and then painted designs onto the glazed ware. I found one of these pieces from the early 1940's yesterday and did a tiny test to see if the paint would scrape off with my fingernail...... and it did. Luckily the 41 vase I found looks like it has never been used so the painted flowers are in pristine condition.


and the Ambrico fraction marks on the base..

Lets see if I can still do it...

These vases are shape 21

Oh wow those are gorgeous Heather!!!!!!!!!
And you remembered

Looking around on Papers Past and found this in the Evening Post 24th August 1944
An auctioneers advert which includes 1 case (19) expensive Harwyn vases ...

9.5cmh glasses ( crown crystal? ) that look like Harwyn decorated them..the paint is even flaking off like Harwyn Vases.
