Diameter of rim 25 cm, external depth 8 cm. Condition: Very good condition, no chips cracks or restoration. This is an unusual and very attractive bowl, thrown in red-brown earthenware clay and dipped in white clay slip which has been beautifully carved on the rim by Gaye Fishley Holland in a pattern of Convolvulus flowers and leaves. The rest of the bowl is finished in the turquoise blue glaze which was a signature glaze of the Fishley Holland pottery in the 1960s. The base of the bowl has an unusually long inscription reading “Made by W Fishley Holland, carved by Gaye Fishley Holland, June 1966″. William Fishley Holland came from a dynasty of potters who had their roots in the Devon tradition of slipware pottery. He moved to Somerset where he and later his family ran the Clevedon Pottery. He wrote a book entitled “fifty years a potter” and taught a number of potters of later fame, including a young Michael Cardew. Gaye Fishley Holland joined the family in the early 1960s and the carved designs appear to have been her innovation at the pottery although it was a long standing tradition in Devon pottery.
