Sandland Ware (England)

Lancaster & Sandland (Hanley, Staffs) manufactured the 'Sandland Ware' range of pottery from 1944 until the 1970s. This is probably my favourite of their many designs, the striking black and white 'Zebrette' range from the 1950s. Items from this range are very highly collectable and fetching big sums.

Zebrette Ware three teir cake stand, now sadly sold, I wish I had kept it!

I adore Zebrette ware! This Sandland Ware vase isn't quite so spectacular, but I'd love to know more about it if possible:



It is 4 1/2 inches (11.5 cm) tall, and approximately 3¼ inches (8.3 cm) in diameter at the base. The shape is what you might call 'restrained' freeform - its quite subtly modelled.



Any clue about the date (50s?) and pattern/shape would be wonderful, TIA.

Sandland Ware was made by Lancaster & Sandland of the Dresden Works, Hanley, Staffs between 1944 and 1968. The mark on your piece isn't in Godden so I think it must be after 1961.

Sorry for the very late reply, Gareth! Thank you, that's really helpful.
