Quentin Bell (British 1910-1996) for the Fulham Po
Est: £600 - £800
Quentin Bell (British 1910-1996) for the Fulham Pottery, a pottery vase, moulded with a double portrait bust of a man and woman, initialled QB, and signed to base, 30.5cm high Under fluorescent light one can see areas of over painting, possibly oil, and there appear to be paint losses. These areas are noticeable over both faces and there appears to be an un-eveness in the contours of the face. The body of the vessel appears to be fully vitrified and does not appear to have been cracked or repaired. Potentially this is a mixed media piece or someone has at some point enriched the surface with oil paint. Viewing is highly recommended before bidding.
