Grimwades Byzanta Ware

Grimwades 'Finches' Blue Lustre Byzanta Ware Candlesticks c1928

In 1925 Grimwades (Royal Winton) introduced their first range of lustre wares which they called 'Byzanta' to evoke the colour and richness of the Byzantine empire. Here shown to great effect on a beautiful pair of candlesticks hand painted with finches on a sponged blue lustre ground. A rare design not often seen, especially on candlesticks.
