Going to Work Silhouette Vase

Vase by John Beswick for Darlington Crystal depicting LS Lowry's Going to Work.

This is an example of one of Lowry's famous crowd scenes. The colour palette is unusually light and airy, with pink and gold-tinged buildings lifting the atmosphere. Lowry said of the figures he painted, 'To say the truth, I was not thinking very much about the people... They are part of a private beauty that haunted me. I loved them and the houses in the same way: as part of a vision.'

The top of this handmade ceramic vase evokes the industrial skyline, an eye-catching piece for your home and an ideal gift for any Lowry fan.

Glazed ceramic, approximate size 210 x 120mm
