Small Stoneware Oil Bottle - Robert Tarling Pottery

SOLD

Small beautifully thrown stoneware oil bottle by Robert Tarling. This is from his later Newport Pottery era although the label on the base bears a pre-1995 phone number. As with all the pieces of his work I've seen, it's  wonderfully proportioned and very tactile. Robert sadly passed away in 2005 so his work is becoming more collectable.Sadly no stopper (if ever there was one) but in all other respects this is in excellent condition.

Vintage Studio Pottery Stoneware Oil Burner - Robert Tarling

SOLD

Very nice conical stoneware oil burner by Robert Tarling. I'm not sure if this was from his time at the Kersey Pottery or later the Newport Pottery in Dyfed although I'm drawn to the latter. It could also be a drizzler although the cork would have to be removed for that to work effectively and it's too close to the spout. It does have what I thought was a wick but is actually a pipe cleaner. A wick would work better - light it to draw the scented oil through and then extinguish it as the oil starts to burn, allowing it to glow for a few minutes. Nice looking item.
