The surface decoration emerges subtly through the flambé firing, revealing a stylised rural landscape with a ploughman and field forms visible beneath the lustrous glaze. This painterly, almost abstract quality is characteristic of Royal Doulton’s finest flambé work of the period, where controlled kiln conditions allowed imagery to appear with depth and movement rather than sharp outline.

The vase is cylindrical in form with a gently rounded shoulder and narrow neck, providing an elegant canvas for the flowing glaze effects. The base bears the Royal Doulton Flambé factory mark, along with hand-painted production marks consistent with early 20th-century manufacture.

A highly collectible example of British art pottery, combining technical mastery with narrative design. This piece has an attribution mark,
