Lot 156 , Eliza Simmance for Royal Doulton, a pair of tall Art Nouveau vases, c.1905, 39cm

Eliza Simmance for Royal Doulton, a pair of tall Art Nouveau vases, c.1905, wrythen moulded and tube-lined with curving flowers and rush leaves, impressed mark and incised marks '792' and 'ES', with assistants marks, 39cm
Estimate £400-600

The pair of vases have typical minor glaze imperfections and occasional scratches to the glaze. The brown glaze around the edge of the foot is matt in places and one vase has three indentations to the foot that look like splinters where I believe the foot stuck to the floor in manufacture (may be at the biscuit hardening stage as they have a sheen) but these do not extend to the outside edge, otherwise in good condition with no restoration, chips or cracks detected.
