Size: 7.6 cm tall, approximately 5 cm across the flat sides. Condition: Very good condition, no chips cracks or restoration. The great Bernard Leach adopted the philosophy that a potter’s task was to reveal their soul through their pots. Although this beautiful little vase was probably not made by him (not bearing his personal mark), it exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. The neat squaring up of the corners (making it almost an octagonal pot) and the gently incised decorative lines which emerge through the celadon glaze show care and precision and reveal the personality of the potter. The pot is hand thrown in buff clay, hand shaped and decorated and finish in a celadon glaze which has fired a glossy grey-green with many internal bubbles. The vase was wood-fired in the St. Ives three chambered kiln. It bears the St. Ives mark and the England stamp on the foot-rim. It probably dates to about 1970, although it is not easy to date this type of ware.

Dimensions: W: 18cm (7.1″) H: 30cm (11.8″). This stoneware vase by Bernard Rooke exemplifies the sculptural quality and tactile depth that define his studio work. The form features a vertical upper section with six rounded, fluted tubes, each finished with a circular opening, arranged in a rising arc. Below this, a textured horizontal band, deeply ridged and undulating. Is finished in rich, rust-brown tones with flowing impressions reminiscent of geological strata. The glaze shifts from a pale, stone-like green on the lower body to ochre, beige, and deep brown tones on the middle and upper sections. Rooke’s initials, “BR, ” are incised at the lower side. The vase reflects both the Brutalist ethos and Rooke’s interest in organic, landscape-inspired abstraction. In good condition with no visible.
