1950s Poole Pottery Small Trinket or Pin Bowl with Floral Motif No. 224

This is a highly attractive example of a Poole Pottery small bowl, ideal for trinkets or jewellery, dating to the first half of the 1950s.

The dish is approximately hemispherical with a thickened rim. This is decorated with a band of hand-painted green dots. The whole is glazed in an off-white colour; the interior bears an abstract hand-painted floral motif in pink, green, blue, yellow and purple.

The underside is marked in black with the stylised ‘grotesque’ dolphin logo and the words ‘POOLE ENGLAND’. This mark was in use from 1951 to 1955. In addition, it is impressed with the shape number ‘224’ and bears some hand-painted initials, presumably those of the decorator.

It has a height of approximately 3.8cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 8.2cm and across the base of about 4.1cm.

It has a wrapped weight of 70g.

It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
