BURSLEM POTTERY ALONG THE TOWPATH STONEWARE VASE

This wonderful high quality handmade stoneware vase is from Burslem Pottery's tremendous Industrial range, featuring designs influenced by the heritage of the industrial age, especially around The Potteries towns of Stoke on Trent, Fenton, Longton, Hanley, Tunstall and of course Burslem - local landmarks and themes all feature heavily in the range

Like all of their vases, it is a hand crafted piece of art by Steve Shaw and Tracy Bentley, every piece being slightly different - the design is hand drawn, carved in the sgrafitto style, then painted in a variety of matt and glossy glazes that give them a very tactile textured finish

The "Along The Towpath" pattern was designed by Steve Shaw in 2007 and is not one of their regularly produced pieces, it was made at our request so is extremely rare

It is a nice size, 10.5" (26cm) high, 5.5" (14cm) diameter at the widest point and the rim is 2.5" (6.5cm) diameter

A rare opportunity to buy this beautiful vase, it is brand new in mint condition and will make a lovely gift
