The raspberry-red against the blue is particularly gorgeous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA really special piece of British studio pottery, and one that is just as beautiful filled with flowers or dried grasses as it is simply sitting on a shelf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStamped \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘R.
