Shelley Harmony Drip Ware

Shelley Harmony 926 Conical Vase

Developed by Eric Slater in the early 1930s, Harmony Artware was the name given to a range of simple banded wares. Initially comprising of one or two colour shades in graduated bands, the range was developed further by thinning the colours and allowing them to run and drip. More colour combinations were added, often creating quite stunning effects. See more of my collection at Premier Antiques
