More eg's of the diversity found in the Empire itinerary. The vase (top left) is the first found to have tube lining incorporated in the flowered decoration. The pair of blue and white vases (top right) are decorated with a variety of hand painted birds and butterfly's. The matt black vase with flower (again hand painted) is an older example but still reveals the art deco influence in the 1920's. The further two items have a lustre glaze, several 'Gondola' vases have been discovered in different colourways

Many of the designs were reproduced by several companies, but even if unmarked Empire can be distinguished on most occassions by it's 'feel'- it is a much lighter item than those made by rival companies.
