A stunning deep blue floral glazed vase made by Watcombe Pottery, Torquay. This is such a unique piece and a rare, example of mid 20th century Watcombe pottery. How eye-catching is that deep blue glaze!? This is a statement piece for sure.
Watcombe Pottery, originally known as The Watcombe Terra-Cotta Clay Company, was started by G J Allen in 1871 to use the red clay found around the area of Torquay in Devon.
Watcombe were known for their unique glazed teracotta slipware pieces. I believe that this vase was made circa the 1920s/30s. There is a remnant of a mark on the base however it has mostly rubbed away, there’s no doubt that the iconic glaze and design was produced by Watcombe pottery!
