Lambeth Faience Vase Blue Children’s Series Ware Grounded Neck Pre 1891

Lambeth Faience – Vase Blue Children’s Series Ware – Grounded Neck – Pre 1891. This lovely Vase on the base has Lambeth Faience and dates pre-1891. It also has IVORY imprinted on the base and the letter L and numbers 6303.

There is a lot of crazing, some pitting marks and little specks of white which I believe to be the white china underneath the decoration, a few blob marks and wear to the gold gilding and the base. As this is such an early piece of Blue Children’s Series Ware it is probably quite rare as the stamp mark indicates it pre dates 1891. Stands proud at approx.
