Description

A Rare and Beautiful c. 1920 Art Nouveau Lustre Ware Bowl from Shelley - Designed and made by Walter Slater (1902-1984, England), who was the Designer an Artistic Director for Shelley. This Incredible Art Nouveau Bowl has a deep pink and mauve background, gradually shading to violet blue and bears 4 large Amazingly Beautiful Multi-colored Butterflies finished with Gold Detail around the outside of the body.

It is Artist Signed on the base which also bears the Shelley Mark. It is in Good Condition for it's age, though it does have a small chip along the rim going into the interior (1 inch by 3/8 inch) and also has a faint hairline crack that runs from the rim down the outside (1 3/8 inches) - see the last 4 photos. This Wonderful Art Nouveau Piece measures 10 1/4 inches in diameter and 2 7/8 inches tall.
This Walter Slater Art Piece will make a very nice addition to any great Art Nouveau Collection, any Shelley Collection or would make a great gift to a very special person. Thank you for viewing this Beautifully Amazing Piece, have a wonderful day and be good to one another!
Note: I describe the items as they are, give a detailed condition report and mention all damage, if any at all; I ask that you keep in mind that antiques and vintage items in good condition will usually show a small amount of wear, as expected, due to their age, which is why I may call something excellent condition, very good condition, good condition or fair condition, but I will not call something pristine or mint, unless it has never been used or handled and shows no wear, due to age and handling; I will ship within 3 days of your paying for the item, if not sooner; I will answer all questions, so don't hesitate to ask (there are no silly questions); I am happy to add more photos, though I tend to put the maximum in the listing, so as to show all the detail of the antique, jewelry or Art; when it comes to shipping, I usually pay for the shipping and if for some reason I have to charge - I only charge for a portion of the actual shipping charges (I don't charge for bubble wrap, insurance or delivery confirmation) and if we save any money at all on shipping, I will refund that amount to you; should the shipping cost more than you are charged, I will absorb the added cost and it'll be my gift to you; should something be damaged in shipment, all I ask is that you contact me right away and then take the item and it's original packaging back to the Post Office for inspection, at which time I will refund your money and make you whole, prior to my getting the insurance settlement (fortunately we pack everything extremely well). Therefore, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase in any way or if you are unhappy for any reason, please contact me as soon as possible, so we can work together toward a positive solution. I, upon receiving your feedback, will reciprocate!        I believe, as my mentor says: "We were placed on this Earth to see one another through  -  not to see through one another" and I want everyone to have a very positive buying experience and hopefully add me to their favorites list.
