1970s Carn Studio Pottery Vase

About the Item

A 1970s studio pottery vase by Carn, Cornwall. Rare facetted, hand built woodcut mould design. With tubline decoration highlighted with mossy glaze. This listing is for one vase. The vase shown for sale here is the one on the right in the photo. Carn is the only surviving pottery out of the iconic 1960’s and 1970’s Trio of Cornish potteries – Carn, Tremaen and Tremar. The Pottery was established in an old chapel by John Beusmans in 1971 in the village of Nancledra near St. Ives in Cornwall. John studied at Redruth Art College with his parents encouragement. His parents owned a retail pottery shop which exposed John to a lot of Cornish pottery styles. (Incidentally his parents also made the lamp shades for the renowned Troika lamp bases.) John quickly developed his own very recognisable style. John’s work displays an artist’s skill in his use of sculptural shape and form – and most pieces have many different viewing angles, as does good sculpture.
