This is a striking example of a handmade pot or vase, maker unknown but probably dating to the latter quarter of the 20th century.
The pot has a flared rim extending out from a rounded, squat body. It is glazed on the interior and exterior in a pale grey. The body is glazed with two circumferential lines in black that are intersected by six equidistant vertical lines. Over this are swirls and streaks of a reddish-pink glaze, which gives it an abstract finish.
The underside is unglazed, revealing the dark brown stoneware body. It is impressed at the edge with an oval containing a five-petalled floral sprig motif. I have as yet been unable to ascertain the potter’s identity.
It has a height of approximately 14.7cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 12.5cm and across the base of about 9.4cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 880g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
