Studio Pottery Bud Vase by Carol Wynne Morris - Conwy Pottery


Very pleasant bud vase with a floral design in subdued pastel colours. It's by Carol Wynne Morris of the Conwy Pottery in North Wales. She is still potting but has discarded the "Wynne". In excellent condition although be advised the photographs aren't all that good and that the colours are rather more pastel in shade.

10.5cm x 7cm

Vintage Small Handpainted Green and Yellow Bowl - Portmadoc Pottery




SOLD

Stunning little bowl by Portmadoc (Porthmadog) Pottery in Wales. Details of the pottery are sketchy but they are believed to have operated from the 1970s until the 1990s. This is fairly typical of their output, quite delicate and light with drip glazes. It is unsigned but the backstamp and base are both pristine. The inside bottom is a little crackled but otherwise it's bright and in excellent condition.

Vintage Handpainted Blue Vase - Dragon Pottery Rhayader



Mid-sized vase by the popular and highly collectable Dragon Pottery of Rhayader, Wales. This is in the less common blue colouring. It is crazed, as is fairly usual, but someone has stood a pink felt-tip pen inside it and the stain has spread through the crazing and the base resulting in a penny sized pink smudge on the underside as well as a stain inside. Can't see it in normal usage though but it may indicate that it won't be that good at holding water. Dried flowers only!

Small Studio Pottery Jug - Conn, Wales



SOLD

Small sandy beige coloured earthenware jug with coloured splodges. It has a very decent handle with distinctive lower join and is inscribed with what appears to be "Conn" Wales on the base. Unfortunately it looks as though the clay wasn't entirely free of air bubbles and these have popped through the glaze during firing. Nevertheless it makes a quite pleasing ornament or dried flower vase although it's not very practical as a container

Vintage Small Blue and White Vase - Dragon Pottery, Rhayader



SOLD

Small earthenware vase from the Dragon Pottery in Rhayader, Wales. Its blue and occasionally green rings are over an off white ground with sgraffito flowers marked into the top banding. It has been used - there's some light crazing and it looks like a leaky pen has been stored inside it at one time but otherwise it's actually in very good condition. I usually take a picture of the base but there isn't much to see apart from a small part of a very faint circular Dragon mark. Certainly one for the Dragon Colletors among you.
