Rathjen Pottery Vase Australian Modernist Mid Century 1950's RARE Design
Rathjen Pottery Vase Australian Modernist Mid Century 1950's Rare Shape Perfect. Signature is barely legible if at all.. Just a hint of the characteristic R visible.
However I know it's Rathjen, firstly by the shape style and glaze but definitely by the collector I originally got this from. He had an extensive Rathjen collection with a lamp base very like this with identical glaze that was clearly signed, as was all his collection. Some were prototypes, this may be one.
Certainly rare, I've never seen another. 25cm wide 20cm tall 12cm wide. Striking stylised jug form with elliptical handle and rakish shape.Glaze the characteristic gloss inside, base and handle inner edge, the outside matt textured. In soft pink and grey, favoured 1950's colours. Will be very well packed for posting please see my feedback for comments on my packing.
