Jane Hamlyn MBE, vintage British studio pottery salt glazed jar and cover, c1979
Size: 17 cm to top of lid, 13 cm height to rim. Condition: Excellent condition, no chips cracks or restoration. This is a very interesting piece by Jane Hamlyn, dating from the period when she was making salt glaze ware but before she developed the signature style for which she is best known. This piece shows the influence of Mick Casson, Jane’s tutor at Harrow College of Art, in its precise potting, strong score lines defining the shape, and painterly use of slips and oxides to create pattern. It also shows some of the development Jane later became famous for, including rouletting of lines and impressed stamps. But all in all, it is a very attractive piece of work. Jane Hamlyn’s impressed mark is near the foot. Jane Hamlyn (born 1940) is one of the key exponents of salt glazing in the British studio pottery world. Her impressive CV boasts many awards, and her work is to be found in all major galleries and museums dealing with ceramic art. She is a Fellow and former chair of the Craft Potters’ Association and was appointed an MBE in 2022 for services to pottery and ceramics.
