Vintage Studio Pottery Sgraffito Pot - Nick & Julie Williams, Consall Forge




Earthenware pot with sgraffito cloud shapes on a beige ground. It has the mark of Nick & Julie Williams' Consall Forge Pottery and a further mark dating it to around the end of the 1970s/early 1980s. Nick Williams still runs the Pottery. There is a cork lid with a painted underside. Whether this is original or not, I can't say - it is a touch worn though. There's a rather sweet smell inside which reminds me of the pipe tobacco my one-time father-in-law used to smoke so it's possible this has been used as a tobacco jar. Apart from needing a good clean, it's in excellent condition.
