Vintage New Zealand Studio Pottery ‘Chicken & her Chicks’ Bowl - Signed Russell N.Z

A beautiful, one-of-a-kind studio pottery bowl, hand-painted with a tender rural scene of a hen gently leading her chicks. Rendered in soft, inky blues against a speckled off-white ground, the decoration has a wonderfully naïve, folk-art quality that feels both playful and quietly timeless.

The bowl is signed to the base Russell, N.Z, grounding it firmly in its maker’s hand and giving a lovely sense of place. The deep cobalt rim frames the scene beautifully, while the interior painting draws you in, a small moment of everyday life, captured with warmth and care.

Equally suited to use or display, this bowl would make a characterful serving piece or a wonderful artwork to add to a gallery wall. A piece that feels full of story and charm, the kind of pottery you keep reaching for, simply because it makes you smile.

A truly special find, and the only one of its kind.
