Topic: Old Art Pottery Vase with Interesting Glaze, Marked '72'

[Mosquito]

This one has me stumped... A lovely art pottery vase with a fantastic glaze; the basic colour seems to be a reddish brown with mottling, then there are iridescent lighter splashes which look variously blue and yellow. The whole surface has a fine crackle.

The base has an impressed number '72'. The seven looks English rather than continental in style. There appear to be three spur/ support marks just inside the footrim. The vase stands about 6 1/2 inches tall.

It has a bit of a Linthorpe feel, so I'm guessing maybe late 19th/ early 20th century. Can anyone suggset a possible maker?

Thanks,

Steven

The glaze reminds me of some Ruskin pieces I've seen,Keith.

pottery or red clay ??           like in Stoneware??                  or possible called earthenware??  Also, looks to me like a *sponge pattern* but just a wild guess.

this also looks like some danish art pottery pieces but not saying it is, maybe worth a look

Hi, I am also thinking it *might* be RAKU pottery......with the luster and the glaze

See Example of glaze:

just throwing that idea out....
