Lowry – Coming From The Mill Vase by John Beswick
A striking piece of art, this Vase will sit perfectly as a standalone item or as part of a group with other items from the collection.
Since it was first established in 1894 Beswick has become a famous English name associated with fine ceramic models and gifts. The Gold Street works in Longton Stoke-on-Trent produced a wealth of lifelike animal pieces including cats, dogs, farm animals and wildlife that were widely sold and collected by many.
In 1948 John Beswick secured the right to reproduce a range of 10 Beatrix Potter earthenware characters. In 1952 the Company began manufacturing a range of Disney characters including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Bambi. These together with other character studies from that time became highly sought -after by collectors.
In 1969 the Beswick business was sold to Royal Doulton and production was continued until 2002 when manufacturing ceased and the Gold Street works was demolished in 2003. In 2004 the Beswick name and product design rights were purchased and is now part of the Dartington Crystal group of brands. Made using the same traditional skills in modelling, making and hand- painting, the current Beswick collection continues the proud heritage of fine quality and detail in every piece.
‘To say the truth, I was not thinking very much about the people. I did not care for them the way a reformer does. They were part of a private beauty that haunted me. I loved them and the houses in the same way, as part of a vision. Had I drawn them as they are, it would not have looked like a vision.’ – LS Lowry.
Beswick have joined with Parastone, a long established Dutch art company, to produce this range of quality ceramic vases. The collection consists of seven Silhouette d’art movseion Vases, including Van Gogh Sunflowers, Van Gogh Irises, Klimt Three Ages Of Women, Klimt The Kiss, Monet Water Lilies, Hokusai Lilies and Hokusai Birds and Flowers.
