Vintage 1970s Cornish Brutalist Wheel Thrown Studio Pottery Blue Green Hexagon Medallion Ceramic Vase. This striking, hand-crafted studio vase is a quintessential example of the post-war Cornish Brutalist pottery movement from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. While entirely unmarked, all physical characteristics point to this being an exceptionally rare, unsigned studio piece from the inner circle of Tremaen Pottery (Newlyn, Cornwall) or a closely affiliated mid-century Cornish contemporary like Eric Leaper. Early, large-scale, or experimental art pieces from these workshops were frequently left completely unsigned on their bases, originally relying solely on temporary paper labels. Authentic Artisan Craftsmanship & Features. Unlike mass-produced factory ceramics, the interior of this tube vase features distinct horizontal throwing rings from being manually pulled up on the potter’s wheel. It has a substantial, satisfyingly heavy, and solid weight. Measures 22.5cm x 8cm. Hand-Stamped Texturing, the midsection is adorned with prominent hand-impressed geometric hexagon “eye” medallions, framed by meticulous tool-stamped decorative borders around the neck and base. Classic Cornish Palette, the vase beautifully bridges raw texture and vivid color, using a dry, volcanic manganese-brown iron oxide background contrasted against hyper-glossy, melting pools of running cobalt blue and vibrant copper-green glazes. Raw Wire-Cut Base, the unglazed buff-colored base showcases distinct concentric wire-cut marks from being sliced off the wheel head, alongside hand-sponged rim wipes and a faint workshop underglaze pencil marking. Excellent vintage condition with no cracks, or restorations. There is one small glaze chip to the base edge. The glaze remains incredibly bright and the textures sharply defined. A magnificent, highly tactile collector’s piece that perfectly captures the rugged, sculptural energy of the mid-century Cornish coast.

Poole Pottery was founded in 1873 in Poole Quayside in Dorset. The business continued to produce unique and ground breaking pottery including amongst others the “Delphis” range which was launched 1963. The Poole factory moved away from the quay in 1999 – significantly with Master Potter Alan White throwing the final pot at the Quayside March 2001, ending 128 years of pottery production there. Production continued at the new site in Sopers Lane Poole until its’ closure in 2006. Many gifted artists and ceramic designers have been associated with Poole Pottery over its’ 128 years including Alan White who joined in 1973 and Anita Harris who for over 10 years from the 1990s was a Senior Designer and Decorator. In 2011, Poole Pottery was taken over once again, by Denby Pottery and currently a shop and studio have been kept as popular attractions on the Poole Quayside where Master Potter Alan White can still be seen demonstrating. Several designers and ceramic artists at the site help design new collections available direct from the Studio website.

A stunning large vintage studio pottery vase. Urn shaped body with a fluted rim. Cream, oranges, greys, browns, blue colourway. Abstract design that has an oriental feel to it. It reminds me of Koi Carp due to the texturing, which looks like scales in part. As you look at it you glimpses of various possible images. A real statement piece and a work of art. Very good vintage condition.
