A rare Poole Pottery earthenware vase from the main staircase of the Cunard Liner R.M.S Queen Elizabeth c.1938, the slip cast urn body decorated in a shagreen “sea mist” mottled glaze with ribbed stem and stepped foot, 65.5cm high, (rubbed to foot) * Poole Pottery undertook the commission by Cunard to cast several of these pieces for the niches in the main staircase. Secured by a location ring around the foot, this particular vase became loose and sustained the damage visible to the base. The vase was returned to the factory for repair, instead of which another was cast to replace it, while this example was retained by the factory for its museum. The vase remained with the factory until 2004 when it was sold in The Poole Pottery Museum and Archive sale at Christie’s, London, (with sale labels retained to underside) The remaining vases aboard were lost in the fire and sinking in Hong Kong harbour in 1971 whilst undergoing conversion to a University ship.
