Minton Secessionist Shape 3508 is one of the more beautiful Secessionist shapes, a tall vase with unusually elegant handles. Unusual handles are very characteristic of the Secessionist range, but many are also vulnerable to damage and a collector should inspect for restoration. This shape is usually decorated in an art nouveau floral pattern possibly representing petunias and is often in the green and ochre colourway illustrated.

A more unusual pattern is the stylised tulip pattern in blue which suits the shape of the vase extremely well.

There is a watercolour drawing from the Minton archive which shows Shape 3508 in two more designs, but I have never seen them ‘in the flesh’.

Hello
I would like some help please . I have a large jardiniere and stand which I believe to be Minton . It is decorated in a typical art nouveau style with water lilies and dragonflies . The background colour is cream and the inside of the bowl is turquoise .
The only marks are an impressed 7724 and a painted on number 48 and 7723 and a painted on 49 there is also a small number 3 stamp which I believe to indicate 1903 ?
I could send some pictures if you have an email address please ?
Thank you in advance Maria
