C. H. Brannam urn by James Dewdney – fish, birds & flowers

A finely crafted Barum ware urn by James Dewdney, distinguished by its rich two-tone slip glaze and carefully incised decoration. The body features detailed panels depicting fish on one side and birds on the other, interspersed with floral motifs that enhance its rhythmic composition. The piece bears the incised mark “C.H. Brannam Barum ware” along with further characterful, though partially indistinct, workshop markings, reflecting its handmade origins. From a private Norfolk collection, this urn exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Brannam pottery at its most refined.
