Vintage 1960s Jersey Pottery Vase, Mid Century Stoneware Porthole Pot

A striking example of British mid-century studio pottery, this 1960s vase from the renowned Jersey Pottery is a truly handsome piece. Hand-thrown and decorated on the Channel Islands, its strong cylindrical form is a testament to the era’s design aesthetic. The vase features a unique pierced ‘porthole’ design, intricately incised on a textured beige band, which contrasts beautifully with the dark, moody charcoal-green matte glaze of the lower body. This is a highly collectable piece, perfect for lovers of authentic vintage ceramics.
