1930s Art Deco Cream Relief Serving Pitcher by Burleigh Ware

An authentic 1930s Art Deco cream serving pitcher by Burleigh Ware, beautifully moulded with bold spiral and foliate relief decoration.

 

Finished in a soft ivory glaze, the sculptural surface detailing creates depth and shadow, giving the piece strong decorative presence. The integrated handle and gently flared rim reflect the confident geometry and stylised ornament typical of the Art Deco period.

 

Burleigh Ware, produced by Burgess & Leigh in Staffordshire, is celebrated for its high-quality ceramics and distinctive moulded designs — making this an excellent example of British Art Deco craftsmanship.

 

A wonderful decorative piece for collectors or those seeking an elegant antique accent.
