Frederick Rhead Large Baghdad Vase

Frederick Rhead Large Baghdad Vase. A classic example of Rheads earthenware work which was ahead of its time. The Bagdad pattern designed by Rhead ( father of Charlotte) exemplifies Rheads style and the growing influence of Middle Eastern and North African culture on him.

Inspired by Islamic 16th Century Turkish Iznik ceramic style and elegant in form this would make a wonderful addition to any collection or as a stand alone statement piece.
