Vintage Charlotte Reid Pottery Vase
This vintage pottery vase is attributed to Charlotte Reid. It has a rounded body, a flared rim and a footed base, and it is offered as a single decorative piece for the collector or home.
Make, Style and Notable Features
The vase has a speckled glaze in warm orange, ochre and cream tones. Its surface is decorated with a band of oval motifs beneath the rim and a central design of stylised leaves and chevron-shaped panels, all outlined in dark incised lines. Further banding of wavy lines and dots encircles the lower body above the foot. The decoration is bold and geometric, in a style that reflects the Art Deco period, when stylised motifs of this kind were widely used on ceramics. The base carries a painted mark in blue and red together with a small initial, which is not fully legible and has not been further identified in this description.
Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal
The vase is offered in the condition shown, with some minor surface wear to the base area and no further damage described here. The glaze and decoration appear to be original to the piece, and the speckled finish and crisp outlines remain clearly visible across the body. Its strong colour, graphic design and vintage character are likely to appeal to collectors of Art Deco and mid-twentieth-century British pottery, as well as buyers looking for a distinctive display piece for a shelf or sideboard.
