This is a good quality transfer printed blue and white vase of unusual shape from the late 1920s / early 1930s. It is made by the Maling Pottery in Newcastle-on-Tyne. The pattern is called "Blue Egypt" and was introduced around 1928/29, continuing in production up to the mid-1930s.

The Maling Pottery was founded by Christopher Thompson Maling in North Hylton, near Sunderland in 1762 and moved to Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1817. It is this city with which Maling Pottery is always associated. Under successive generations of the Maling family, the pottery was at the forefront of manufacturing innovation and produced in excess of 16,000 different patterns enabling them to always move with the fashion of the times. The pottery finally closed in 1963.

This vase, with it's exotic and rather romanticised transfer print of Egypt is typical of the high quality wares that Maling was producing in the interwar years. It makes a fabulous decorative piece in its own right or, of course, will look great with cut flowers in it.

Condition is very good with no chips or cracks and just some very slight crackling to the glaze on the base. The inside is clean and ready for use if desired. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The vase is 22cm / 8.5" high and 11.3cm / 4.5" in diameter across the base. It weighs 614g.

The mark on the bottom of the vase is the classic three towered castle in a circle surmounted by the word Maling. Beneath the castle is Newcastle-On-Tyne, England.
