The Story
These striking urn-shaped mantle vases were produced by the renowned Price Kensington in Stoke-on-Trent during the 1950s. Featuring a bold, jet-black glossy glaze, they are playfully accented with pale blue polka dots and finished with shiny gilt rims. They are quintessential mid-century decorative pieces, perfect for adding a touch of vintage glamour to a mantelpiece or bookshelf, whether left as standalone sculptures or filled with seasonal flowers.
