Wedgwood Etruria + Barlaston Scalloped Shell Medium Vase, Moonstone Satin Glaze.

Wedgwood Etruria + Barlaston Scalloped Shell Medium Vase, Moonstone Satin Glaze. Wedgwood urn shaped vase. A classically shaped urn style vase by Wedgwood with twin scallop shell handles and the distinctive creamy, matt white moonstone glaze. The vase has a pedestal base and trumpet shaped body with fluted banding. The two decorative scallop shell handles are each approximately 3cm wide. Introduced in 1933, the moonstone glaze was used extensively on Wedgwood designs and its composition remains largely unchanged today. Resembling marble, the moonstone glaze has a very soft sheen as opposed to a pure matt appearance. The vase likely dates from the 1950s or 1960s and is stamped Wedgwood & Barlaston of Etruria, Made in England. The mark, which is printed in colour on the base, was first introduced in 1940.
