Compton Pottery Celtic Style Terracotta Pot
About the Item
An English Compton Pottery Celtic style terracotta pot or planter dating from the early 20th century. With its spectacular red colour and Art Nouveau style detailing, this terracotta pot is typical of Compton Pottery, particularly Celtic style pots influenced by designer, Archibald Knox (1864-1933). It is unstamped with a potter’s mark to the inside. If looking for a pair, we are also selling a slightly larger Compton pot in a similar design.
Founded in 1904, the Compton Potter’s Arts Guild was established by Mary Seton Watts (1849-1938). The pottery produced a wide range of ceramics, jewellery and gardenware in the early 20th century but were best known for their distinctive pots. These were made from locally sourced red terracotta and laid out for sale outside the factory as well as other outlets including the legendary Liberty of London. Here, Mary was named as designer, working alongside other talented artisans such as Archibald Knox. Following Mary’s death in 1938, Compton Pottery continued production for a number of years before closing in 1956.
