This is an attractive posy vase or potpourri holder in a classic design by Jersey Pottery.
It is circular in form with a slight taper and the outside is decorated with a repeating ‘teardrop’ pattern in ten panels. This pattern is made up of three angled brushstrokes of glaze in different shades of brown. The panels are bordered on each side by a thin brown line, terminating in a spot. The top of the vessel rises slightly in the middle to form a rim around a large central hole. There are two concentric rings of perforations around the centre, the outermost having eight small holes and the innermost having eight larger holes. These rings are arranged so that the holes are staggered.
The base has a raised foot rim and a central, slightly domed portion, which has the words ‘JERSEY POTTERY C. I.’ moulded in relief.
It has a maximum height of approximately 7.4cm, with a diameter across the top of about 12.0cm and across the base of about 14.0cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 300g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
