| Figure 72 Vases. Left: 1955–1970. Earthenware. H. 7 3/4". Right: 1950–1970. Earthenware. H. 7 1/2". One might think that these unusual modern-shaped vases were not molded by Thorley were it not for the fact that the white example is still in biscuit and bears the Thorley stamp (illustrated in fig. 10) while still in its green or unfired state. The lustrous blue vase was a successful experiment in that its condition is good enough to have appeared in his shop. Only the series of numerals on the base explains that it was indeed experimental. His name, handwritten, also appears on the bottom. |
