Poole Pottery Modernist Floral Vase

About the Item

The design of this Poole Pottery vase belongs to a relatively understudied figure in ceramics design history: Truda Carter. Working as lead designer at the firm for nearly 30 years, Carter was responsible for developing the Poole aesthetic. This vase represents the vibrant Modernist style for which she, and consequently Poole Pottery, was known. This Poole Pottery vase features Truda Carter’s RK pattern, which combines vibrant florals framed within geometric borders. The design is slightly more delicate than other Poole patterns, and the relative sparseness of the pattern allows the beautiful white earthenware to show through. Truda took inspiration for her designs from a variety of sources, including Dutch Gouda pottery, Jacobean embroidery, and French design books (pochoirs). Subtle Fauvist and Cubist influences seem apparent in her designs as well. The present Poole Pottery vase can be dated between 1934-37: during this time the Pottery transitioned from using red clay to white earthenware as the factory clay pits were depleting. The white earthenware was covered with a pink slip (which can be seen on the underside of this vase), and the white body would be visible where any incised marks were made (here, the vase shape 970). Dimensions: 9 1/2 in. H x approximately 7 in. at widest point Condition: Excellent. Some very fine crazing throughout.
