Description
A super little art pottery ball vase from 1963 by G. Griffiths who looks to have been at Gordonstoun School, Moray, Scotland.
Wheel thrown clay piece glazed in pale mottled whites and pale pinks with a drip of green. Darker inside.
During his time at the school in the 1960s, a young Prince Charles gravitated toward the pottery studio at Gordonstoun as a creative refuge. He studied under art teacher and potter Robert Waddell. Clay work remains a core component of the school today.
This piece would have been made at the same time Prince Charles and Robert Waddell were in the ceramics department.
I’ve not been able to identify more about this artist G Griffiths – a student or a tutor.
The vase is 9 x 7cm.
Incised to the base with ‘G. Griffiths Gordonstoun 1963’.
A beautiful mid century piece.
