Lot Essay
This piece was on loan to the Haworth Art Gallery, Accrington 1988-1993.
One of the rarer Burmantoft lines was the style known as 'Anglo-Persian'. All known pieces are decorated by the talented Lewis Kander and signed with his monogram LK. These vases made their first appearance at the Saltaire Exhibition in 1887. Arabesques, stylised floral and foliage patterns and fish and birds were used as decorative motifs obviously inspired by the 'Persian' wares of William de Morgan. The 'Anglo-Persian' style was used to decorate very large, moulded hall vases, chargers, plaques and small vases of simple shapes.
