The Story
This strikingly beautiful antique vase is a rare creation from Henry Tooth & Co, famously known as Bretby Art Pottery. Dating to the 1910s, it features a vibrant cobalt blue semi-matte underglaze, mottled with organic moss-green "veined" detailing and square floral Art Nouveau motifs. This specific design and colorway are particularly hard to find, making it a highly collectible statement piece for any vintage or contemporary interior.
Styling Tips
Jewel Tones: This is a "hero" piece. Place it alone on a dark wood dresser where its vivid cobalt blue can shine.
The Collector’s Cluster: Pair it with other Art Nouveau or Art Deco glass and ceramics in varying heights. The rich moss-green veining in the glaze looks stunning when placed next to antique brass or copper candlesticks.
The Details
Dimensions: 11.5cm H x 6cm W (at rim)
Model Number: 2352
Maker: Henry Tooth & Co (Bretby Pottery), Derbyshire, England (fully marked to base).
Era: Circa 1910s.

Historical Significance
Bretby Art Pottery was founded in 1882 by Henry Tooth and William Ault. Henry Tooth’s pedigree was exceptional; he was mentored by Dr. Christopher Dresser, one of the most influential designers of the 19th century, during his time as manager at Linthorpe Pottery. This vase reflects the high standards of craftsmanship and avant-garde glaze work that won the pottery a gold medal at the 1884 London International Exhibition.
