She  produced incredibly original and versatile work through from high Victorian Renaissance designs to simpler  flowing Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs. This teapot represents her early work for the factory when she  worked alongside other notable artists such as the Barlow sisters, for whom she designed vase border  decorations. Simmance’s work gradually received wider appreciation. John Sparkes (Art Master at Lambeth  School of Art and the National Art Training Schools at South Kensington) said in 1880: \n\"First among those  who have thrown their whole energy into their work is Miss Eliza Simmance….She, too, has so many ideas  to spare – more than she can work out by herself – that she keeps a staff of rising artists occupied in  carrying out her inst.\" \nThis pot demonstrates Eliza's love of combining different decorative techniques, here incised, applied detail  with bold modelling and distinctive coloured glazes. . \r\n\t","physicalDescription":"Teapot made of stoneware with neo-Renaissance moulded and incised decoration with translucent coloured glazes, the lid is silver plated metal","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Eliza Simmance","id":"A18475"},"association":{"text":"decorator","id":"x30812"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Doulton","id":"A9090"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"stoneware","id":"x30197"},{"text":"","id":""},{"text":"silver","id":"x38860"}],"techniques":[{"text":"moulded","id":"x30076"},{"text":"incised","id":"AAT53847"},{"text":"plating","id":"AAT53991"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"stoneware, moulded, incised, glazed, silver plated","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Stoneware","id":"THES48890"},{"text":"Woman Artist","id":"THES387590"},{"text":"Art Pottery","id":"THES49021"}],"styles":[{"text":"Neo-Renaissance","id":"AAT21464"},{"text":"Victorian","id":"AAT21235"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2016JH5035","2015HW0955"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"139","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"33","shelf":"5","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"teapot","id":"AAT43022"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Lambeth","id":"x29476"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1876","earliest":"1876-01-01","latest":"1876-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Beryl Bradbury in memory of Celia Flynn","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"13.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"4/7/2014","earliest":"2014-07-04","latest":"2014-07-04"},"part":"whole","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"23.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"4/7/2014","earliest":"2014-07-04","latest":"2014-07-04"},"part":"whole","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"15.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"27/03/2017","earliest":"2017-03-27","latest":"2017-03-27"},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"dated for 1876","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""},{"content":" ‘E.S.’ inscribed on base","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"decorator's mark"}],"objectHistory":"Gift from Beryl Bradbury, passed through the family from her aunt Celia Flynn (1893-1950) who used to be a housekeeper in Kidderminster.
