This specific reptilian texture, while industrially pressed, was designed to mimic the organic, avant-garde textures appearing in the London studios of the period. The presence of the trident mark confirms this as a premier output from the Bilston works during their most creatively successful decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circa20","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929863909698,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9271\/8658\/files\/an-edwardian-art-nouveau-copper-lizard-skin-jug-by-joseph-sankey-sons-bilston-circa-1900-1910-bazaa-designer-vintage-and-antique-furniture-7547988.jpg?v=1776903310","url":"https:\/\/bazaa.com.au\/products\/an-edwardian-art-nouveau-copper-lizard-skin-jug-by-joseph-sankey-sons-bilston-circa-1900-1910","provider":"Bazaa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
