'Blakeney Mallow' has been drawn in the ornamental 'Art Nouveau' style that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States.

Isle Royale Vase
Shape 18/16
Limited Edition of 100
Height: 16 inches
Artist: Anji Davenport
Status: October Delivery
Inspiration for Isle Royale came to designer Anji Davenport from artist Robert Bateman's 1955 painting - Descending Shadows Timber Wolves - in which a pack of seven gray wolves are seen emerging from the depths of a dark, snow covered fir forest. This superb painting spurred Anji to discover more about wolves, animals that Bateman considers to be - possibly the single most popular of wildlife art in North America-. Wolves first colonized Lake Superiors Isle Royale National Park in the late 1940s, after a few had walked to the island across a stretch of the lake often frozen over by the iron-cold winter frosts. During the millennium year, the wolf population swelled to twenty-four, although a recent, dramatic decline has reduced the population to a mere fourteen

River of Dreams Vase
Shape 121/14
Limited Edition of 350
Height: 14 inches
Artist: Sarah Cowan
Status: In Stock
This beautiful vase was inspired by the Japanese-style bridge that French Impressionist artist, Claude Monet, built in his garden in Giverny. The original bridge was built over a pond by diverting a local river. Monet depicted this pond tirelessly in his paintings until 1926. The garden non-constrained asymmetries and interesting curves contain an abundance of weeping willows, bamboo, wisterias and other colorful flowers. His garden continues to provide inspiration to 21st century artists as is evidant in Sarah's innovative design. It features flag irises and other riverbank plants, creating a surreal image that is both dramatic and pleasing to the eye.

Scarlet Cloud Vase
Shape 398/14
Limited Edition of 300
Height: 14 inches
Artist: Rachel Bishop
Status: In Stock
Over the ages, red poppies have been a symbol of fertility and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. The Assyrians called them - the daughters of the field- and for the Romans they were the sacred plant of their crop goddess Ceres. Poppies probably reached Britain mixed up with the corn seed of the first Neolithic settlers. In the late middle ages they were called corn roses and because of their profusion on Flanders Field in the First World War, they have come to symbolize Remembrance. Brightly coloured wild poppies set against a vibrant blue summer sky create a scarlet cloud in this stunning limited edition vase by Rachel Bishop.
