About the Item

A small yet sculpturally expressive planter by Bretby Art Pottery, model number 1616, produced in England during the 1930s. Reflecting the company’s distinctive take on Arts and Crafts-era design, this piece combines moulded industrial technique with the impression of organic spontaneity. Formed in an oblong, softened oval shape with a collapsed profile and gently asymmetrical lines, the vessel features two lug handles at either end. Its body is finished in Bretby's signature bright green glaze, contrasted by a vivid glossy yellow interior—a colour pairing often used in the interwar period to highlight form and depth. Stamped to the underside with the Bretby sunburst mark and model number 1616, the planter is made from slip-cast earthenware, likely moulded with some hand-finishing at the rims and handles. The design shows influence from earlier irregular forms pioneered by Bretby co-founder Henry Tooth, especially in its rejection of classical symmetry in favour of a more expressive, decorative surface. Condition is very good, with no chips or cracks, only minor wear consistent with age. At nearly 100 years old, it remains a vivid example of British decorative ceramics from the early 20th century.
