POOLE POTTERY TRADITIONAL EN PATTERN VASE – MARJORIE BATT

This stunning red bodied Poole vase dates from the Carter, Stabler & Adams period and is decorated in the pretty Truda Adams designed EN pattern

The red clay body indicates it was made no later than 1934, the backstamp dates it in the period 1924 to 1950 and it was decorated by Marjorie Batt (Hayward) who was with the pottery from 1925 to 1935, then again for a short period in 1946, so it was probably made in about 1930

It is 5.25" (13cm) tall, 4.5" (11cm) diameter at the widest point and the rim is 3.25" (8cm) diameter

Sadly it has a 2" (5cm) long hairline crack running down from the rim - there are also some minor glazing imperfections and light crazing, neither of which are unusual in pieces from this period, otherwise it is in good condition with no chips or restoration

A beautiful vase in a very sought after pattern that would be worth a great deal more without the crack, it will make a fine addition to your collection or a lovely gift
