The Story
Part of the highly desirable "Chameleon Ware" range, this strikingly beautiful art pottery vase was produced by the acclaimed George Clews & Co of Stoke-on-Trent. It features a vibrant, semi-matte cobalt blue underglaze mottled with organic moss green accents. Introduced in the 1920s, Chameleon Ware was celebrated for its "originality of design," often drawing inspiration from Persian and Egyptian archaeological discoveries that fascinated the public at the time.
The Details
Dimensions: ~11.5cm H x 6cm W (at rim).
Maker: George Clews & Co Ltd (Chameleon Ware), Stoke-on-Trent.
Era: Circa 1935.
Condition: Immaculate vintage condition; free of signs of wear, use, or damage, with only very light surface crazing characteristic of its age.
Why It’s Special
While classic Art Deco in its bold color and silhouette, this vase has a surprisingly modernist appeal. The combination of the deep cobalt blue and the "mottled" moss green glaze makes each piece unique and pleasingly tactile. It is a scarce find from a range that famously won a gold medal for design at the 1926 Philadelphia Exhibition.
Styling Tips
The Modernist Bud Vase: Use it to hold a single structural stem, like a small dried allium or a spray of eucalyptus. The vibrant blue will serve as a sharp contrast to neutral-toned plants.
A Pop of Cobalt: Style it on a light-colored surface- such as a white marble mantel or a wooden shelf - to let the intense blue glaze truly stand out as a focal point.
Art Deco Grouping: Pair it with other 1920s and 30s ceramics in earth tones (browns, greens, or ochres). The cobalt blue acts as an "accent" color that brings a collection of vintage pottery to life.
