VICTORIAN ALLER VALE DEVON ART POTTERY MAJOLICA GLAZE NORMANDY JUG C.1887-1891

"An attractive antique British art pottery jug made by the Aller Vale pottery and all over decorated in a distinctive attractive majolica type drip-glaze. This stunning running green glaze effect on cream ground was known at the Aller Vale Art Pottery as the Normandy pattern/finish. It was a colour scheme later much copied by others and sold through Liberty of London - the famous art nouveau and arts and crafts retailer. This piece is one of the earlier outputs from the Aller Vale pottery and dates circa 1897-1891. These early Victorian Devon art pottery pieces are become scarce and hard to find as they disappear into worldwide collector cabinets and distinctive decor schemes..."
