A striking pair of Astra Ware vases by Minton Hollins & Co, Stoke‑on‑Trent, produced during the Art Deco period. These substantial ceramics feature dramatic flowing glazes in rich red, emerald green and deep charcoal tones, creating an almost abstract landscape effect across the surface.
Astra Ware was one of Minton Hollins' most distinctive decorative ranges, characterised by experimental glaze techniques and bold colour combinations that reflected the growing influence of Art Deco design. The strong baluster forms and vibrant glazes make this pair equally effective as decorative objects or as part of a serious collection of British art pottery.
Both retain the original factory stamp to the base reading Minton Hollins & Co, Astra Ware, Stoke‑on‑Trent.
