Description
A vintage studio pottery pin dish by Rye Pottery, Sussex.
The base stamp and white clay dates it to 1969 to 1978.
Rye Pottery was John Cole and Walter Cole. Walter (Wally) was responsible for creating the ceramics and running the pottery while John made the designs and created the patterns and decorations. As their work became increasingly popular, the Coles began to employ and train other staff – throwers David Sharp, Dennis Townsend, Raymond Everett, David Smeed and Jim Elliott who were later joined by Pam Goddard and June Woolley. No exact maker’s marks so it’s hard to know who this was by.
Wheel thrown and glazed white, the dish has a pale olive or pea green glaze with a brown fine starburst design over.
12.3cm wide – best for display and for a collector rather than use.
In very good condition with no real signs of age.
No chips or crazing.
