Wedgwood Silver Lustre Vase by Millicent Taplin – 20cm Vintage Art Deco

Indulge in the timeless elegance of this original Wedgwood silver lustre vase, designed by the celebrated ceramic artist Millicent Taplin. A refined example of Wedgwood’s mid‑20th‑century artistry, this 20cm vase combines sleek modern lines with a luxurious metallic sheen, making it a standout piece for both collectors and interior stylists.

Taplin’s work for Wedgwood is highly regarded for its clean, contemporary forms and sophisticated surface decoration. This vase beautifully reflects that legacy: the silver lustre glaze catches and reflects the light, creating a subtle mirror-like effect that changes with the room’s ambience. Whether placed on a mantelpiece, console table, or curated shelving, it offers an effortless focal point and a touch of understated glamour.

Measuring approximately 20cm in height, the vase is perfectly proportioned for displaying fresh flowers, a single sculptural stem, or dried arrangements. Equally, it is striking enough to be displayed on its own as a piece of decorative studio pottery, adding depth and texture to both classic and contemporary interiors.

Key Features:

• Authentic Wedgwood vase designed by Millicent Taplin
• Elegant silver lustre finish with a refined, modern profile
• Approximate height: 20cm
• Vintage decorative pottery – ideal for collectors and design lovers
• Good condition – no chips or cracks noted

The condition is particularly pleasing for a vintage piece. There are no chips or cracks observed, and the form remains crisp and well-defined. As with all older lustre-glazed ceramics, very light age-related signs may be present on close inspection, but overall the vase presents beautifully and is ready to enjoy and display immediately.

This Millicent Taplin design is an excellent choice for anyone seeking:

• A statement Wedgwood vase to elevate a living room, dining room, or hallway
• A stylish accent for Art Deco, mid-century modern, or contemporary interiors
• A thoughtful gift for a lover of fine English pottery and porcelain
• An investment piece to enhance a Wedgwood or British ceramics collection

The vase’s versatile silver tone harmonises effortlessly with a wide range of colour schemes – from monochrome, minimalist spaces to richer, more traditional settings. Pair it with crystal, polished metals, or dark woods for a luxurious look, or set it against matte, neutral textures for a chic, gallery-style display.

If you appreciate the intersection of design history and decorative beauty, this Wedgwood Millicent Taplin silver lustre vase will make a distinguished addition to your home or collection. It encapsulates the quality, innovation, and quiet glamour that have made Wedgwood a byword for fine ceramics for over two centuries.
