Vase

| Place of origin |
Object Type
This vase was made using materials and a technique common among many small potteries, especially across the south and west of England. It is comparatively inexpertly made, yet it has a rustic appeal that was often part of the marketable charm of small but commercial potteries.
Design & Designing
Made of earthenware, with hand-carved decoration, this vase would have been a relatively simple and inexpensive piece for a student. The red earthenware and the green and blue glazes were typical of many south and south-western potteries, and these materials would have been readily available to Salisbury School of Art. The foliate patterning was encouraged, as design teaching probably included drawing from nature.
