About this objectA rounded cylindrical jar, incised and painted with a decoration of pink wild roses with green heart shape leaves against a cream background.
Ruth Bare was the daughter of an architect and art writer. She received training at a local art school as well as at the Liverpool 'Art Sheds'. She joined the pottery at age 16 and stayed for the majority of its existence as a colourist. When the pottery closed she settled into domestic life, marrying Positivist minister Otto Baier and having four sons together.
This piece demonstrates the artist's botanical and art nouveau inspirations.Â
