Carrara Ware is a dense off-white stoneware containing more Cornish china clay than usual. It has a slightly translucent crystalline matt glaze, giving it an appearance and texture somewhat resembling Italian Carrara marble. It was decorated with coloured pigments - and often with Faience decoration, seen here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eApprox 17.5cm (7\") tall\u003cbr\u003eApprox 13.5cm (5 1\/3\") wide at widest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn excellent condition\u003cbr\u003eGUARANTEED free from damage and repair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Eliza Simmance [1873 - 1928]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough over shadowed in the 19th Century by the famous Barlow sisters - Eliza later became more and more recognized as an original and versatile designer and decorator, especially in Doulton Wares and Silicon Wares. \u003cstrong\u003eHer creative talents are seen here in the superb scrolling design on the handles and incision decoration on the neck of the vase.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer body of work, amassed during more than half a century at Doulton, has great attraction to the modern collector - such is the variety and volume of examples one may find.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEliza practiced most of the decorating techniques in vogue at the Lambeth Pottery and often combined two or three of these on the same item - incising through coloured slips, carving, perforating, applied relief figuring and bold modelling. Her finely incised and pate sur pate decoration is superb. Like her colleague Frank butler, she was very much alive to changing trends in the art world and some of her designs in the Art Nouveau manner are very attractive. She won many awards at International exhibitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Kate Rogers [1880 - 1895]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKate Rogers was a Faience, Impasto and Carrara Ware painter specialising in floral decoration with a strong, firm touch. A superb example of her skills are seen here. Before her marriage to fellow artist William Hyde, Miss Rogers exhibited her watercolour designs at London Galleries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doulton Burslem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49350369181924,"sku":"RA-0013531_C","price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/simmance_vase_2a.jpg?v=1783390448","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutantiques.com.au\/products\/doulton-lambeth-carrara-ware-twin-handle-vase-decorated-with-gilt-tube-lined-floral-decoration-2-eliza-simmance-and-kate-rogers","provider":"Roundabout Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
