Description
Collectible from Victoria’s Aunt & Mother’s Collection The bowl is 8 1/2″ across the top and stands 2″ high. Bowl has very old, Early VRMC logo stamped on bottom before they had any date stamps. Has old potters stamp of a plus sign in circle & a slash in circle next to logo on bottom. This piece came out of Victoria’s Aunt’s & Mother’s collection. The pattern Brighton Pavillion. On a British seashore stand pillars of palms for a summer home, which exemplifies to Victoria and Richard an imagination borrowed from cultures and nature and inspiration. From The Story Behind The Patterns Brighton Pavillion was part of the Taylor Series. Bowl is in nice vintage condition- nice and thick, has good weight to it, a couple of tiny white dots (not a flaw but a natural characteristic of the majolica clay)- no chips, or cracks, or crawls. Pre-owned as stated from an estate of Victoria’s Aunt & Mother. MacKenzie-Childs factory sits upon the Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in Upstate NY that spans 50 miles long. Each piece is hand-painted and no two are exactly alike. Our pottery decorators mix their own colors, resulting in slight variations. Brush strokes also vary, so you will see the artisan’s “hand” in the work. The signature red clay that we use in all of our Aurora studio pottery has its own delightful identity. In the finished piece, you may notice tiny pinholes or white spots which are characteristic of majolica pottery. These form when organic materials within the clay explode through the glazed surface during firing, or implode pulling the color inward. We like to think that these dimples and freckles add to the personality of each piece
