Ephraim Faience Pottery
"Curious Geckos" Vase
Leaf Green Glaze
Design #110
2001 pottery mark
For your consideration, here is the superbly scarce and highly sought-after Ephraim Pottery vase #110, entitled "Curious Geckos" by artist Laura Klein.
Retired in 2005, with only 387 produced, it boasts a rich, Leaf Green glaze, the voluminous, hand-tooled foliate motif evocative of classic Grueby. While encircling the vase's top opening, two beautifully sculpted geckos, in a mottled, matte brown glaze, imbue the piece with a singularity of design and imagination. It is a stunning example of why Ephraim, twenty-five years after its founding, is today recognized as the standard-bearer for Arts & Crafts revival pottery.
The vase has an overall Leaf Green (LG) glaze.
