Phil Rogers studio pottery stoneware press-moulded nuka & wax resist bottle vase
A very fine studio pottery press-moulded bottle vase by leading British potter Phil Rogers. Quartered nuka and tenmoku glazes over a very high iron slip with wax resist decoration, with additional nuka glaze to the top and neck. Potter’s mark to the underside. Excellent condition, as new. Dimensions (approximate): 22cm x 10cm x 10cm. Phil started to make these press-moulded bottles at a time when he was starting to suffer from back problems, as they gave him a break from being constantly at the wheel. I bought this particular example from Phil pretty much hot out of the kiln in 2012. It was briefly discussed by him in his Goldmark lecture to launch his “Portfolio” book a few weeks later. Listed somewhat relucantly, not cheaply, as first-class examples of Phil’s press-moulded work don’t come up for sale particularly often, but at a bit less than it would have cost retail prior to Phil’s passing.
