Vintage Studio Pottery Stem Vase by Potter Jean Stanton

Studio pottery is pottery made by professional and amateur artists or artisans working alone or in small groups, making unique items or short runs. Typically, all stages of manufacture are carried out by the artists themselves. 

If you're looking for unique, decorative yet functional items for your home, studio pottery is the way to go. Becoming more and more fashionable, these stand out pieces usually in muted, earthy tones would look lovely in any style home. 

This collection of ceramics, crafted in the 1970s and 1980s, is the work of local Cumbrian potter Jean Stanton, who sadly passed away recently. We have acquired an extensive selection of Jean's work, which is defined by a beautiful simplicity, sculptural forms, and a refined, limited colour palette. For a time, Jean also owned 'Petals and Pots' in Carlisle city centre, a shop where she sold silk flowers alongside her hand-thrown and hand-built pottery.

This lovely sculptural stem vase marked with her signature 'JS' initials is sure to look great in any room of the house.

In general good condition with minor surface wear commensurate with age. Measures approximately 24cm tall and 21cm in diameter.

For those of you that live in the UK and have a similar love for studio pottery, make sure you pay a visit to the York Art Gallery. Now the world’s most extensive collection of British Studio Pottery, with more than 5,000 pieces, well worth a trip.
