About MeA 'busy' decoration of multi-splash glaze on deep burgundy ground complements the elegant ovoid shape. Bretby was a commercial pottery which utilised modern methods shunned by the purist art potters who only produced thrown pots. Their vases were inspired by oriental fashions and glazes; but the company also made novelties and figures. The firm's work was universally acknowledged as art pottery, well known for its glazes and relief moulded wares.
