Description
This very rare vase was decorated by William Lycett, son of Edward Lycett (Faience Munafacturing Company), who according to Atlee Barber, is considered the 'Pioneer of China Painting in America'. The vase stands a respectable 8.5" high by 7" in diameter. It has a bulbous form, with a generous palette. It is decorated in a busy floral motif, with Roses and leaves. The blossoms are glazed in a rainbow of colors, with very refined whispy accents of white slip, giving the blossoms and leaves a wonderful dimensional quality. This vase is decorated in the style of John Bennett, although distinctly different in its presentation. William Lycett ran his father's studio starting in 1877, while his father taught classes at the St. Louis School of Design, and in Cincinnati (with Maria Longworth Nichols). John Bennett ran a china painting studio in NYC, and joined Edward Lycett in business (1879-1882) before William moved to Atlanta, so it is not unreasonable to assume that William may have been influenced by Bennett's work. Edward Lycett had three sons, all were china painters by profession. This vase is in excellent condition, given its age of more than 135+ years. There is a fine short line at the rim, which we show in the photos. This vase is signed by William Lycett and dated 1880 in slip on the base. William Lycett reported set up shop in Atlanta in the mid-1880s. Given the early date of this vessel, we believe it was produced in NYC, before his move to Atlanta. This important vase makes a really beautiful presentation. It should be in a museum!
