Ambleside Pottery was founded by George Cook and based in Ambleside, Cumbria from 1948 until the 1980s. The pottery was best known for its stylish sgraffito designs
The pottery in the early days produced stoneware pottery before turning to earthenware. The distinctive style, based on scraffito through a manganese glaze (also employed by Lucie Rie) was developed by Cook and continued as the house style after his retirement.
This is an attractive, footed bowl that dates to the 1960s. The exterior is a matt black shade - with square brown panels all around and decorated with sgraffito. The abstract decoration is scratched into the surface.
It is 3 inches in height and has a diameter of just over 5 1/4 inches.
The pot is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks
