Beswick Silhouette d’Art Edgar Degas Ballerina Ceramic Vase
This Beswick Silhouette d’Art ceramic vase is decorated with a ballerina in the manner of Edgar Degas, the French artist whose dates of 1834 to 1917 are given on the base label. The tall, slender vase has straight sides, a rounded base and a teal-glazed interior to the rim. The printed design shows a dancer in a pale tutu with one arm raised, set against soft blue-green tones with touches of red and cream. The underside is marked “Degas”, “Edgar Degas (1834-1917)”, “Silhouette d’art”, “Beswick” and “Parastone”, identifying the piece as part of the Silhouette d’Art range.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
Visible marks are present in places, including some small dark specks along part of the base rim. The decoration appears clear and well defined across the body of the vase, and the printed Degas and Beswick markings are legible on the base. No further condition report has been supplied, so prospective buyers are advised to inspect the piece closely before bidding. The vase will appeal to collectors of Beswick ceramics, admirers of Degas’s ballet subjects and anyone seeking a decorative piece with an art-inspired theme.
