From the living estate of Arizona based brutalist sculpture artist John Gleason, capture the essence of late-Victorian Japonisme with this exquisite Antique Bretby Art Pottery Spill Vase (Shape No. 917). Produced in Derbyshire, England, during the height of the Aesthetic Movement, this highly collectible piece features a beautifully detailed, three-dimensional crane (or stork) standing in relief.

The bird is rendered in a textured bisque finish that contrasts sharply with the vibrant, glossy green glazed background molded to resemble sections of natural bamboo. The asymmetrical layout and organic theme perfectly embody the era's fascination with traditional Japanese art and design.

A striking standalone decorative accent or addition to any antique English pottery collection
