Vintage 1950s Polka Dot Slipware Jug - Sandygate Pottery, Devon

A joyful and beautifully grounded 1950s slipware jug from Sandygate Pottery, Devon, finished in a soft blue glaze and dotted with hand-applied cream slip spots. With its gently bulbous form, elegant pulled handle, and slightly flared lip, this piece captures the warmth of British studio pottery.

The glaze has a wonderful depth, glossy yet softly worn, with each polka dot applied by hand, giving the jug a playful irregularity that feels both intentional and charming. Turn it over and the maker’s stamp confirms its origins: Sandygate Pottery, Devon, a respected workshop known for honest, functional wares rooted in craft tradition.

Perfect used as a jug for oils and vinegars or simply as a vase for dried stems or wild flowers. It brings a gentle lift of colour without overpowering a space, equally at home in a country kitchen, on an open shelf, or styled among other studio ceramics.
