An early 20th Century Australian Regal Mashman vase (A.F.) – AA1594
THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD
An early 20th Century Australian Regal Mashman vase (A.F.)
Mashman Brothers Pottery of Sydney, founded 1885 by potters trained at England’s Doulton pottery, long recognised as one of Australia’s most distinguished manufacturers, started producing Regal artware in 1932. The glazes mostly in rich but subdued colours were especially smooth and glassy. Although the colours are generally streaked and mottled giving the appearance of casual application, infact the effects were very skillfully controlled, often with subtle repeating patterns discernable under close examination.
William and Henry Mashman who were trained at Doultons in England entered into partnership with James Sandison, to form Mashman and Sandison Pottery at Willoughby (now Chatswood) Sydney in 1885.
Mashman’s 1930’s ware is known for its clever adaption of Art Deco design elements.
In 1957 Mashma ‘s merged with England’s Royal Doulton.
