Large Stoneware Jug with Dripping Glaze Decoration by Terry Bell Hughes (b. 1937). 12 3\/4 inches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an attractive large jug or pitcher by Terry Bell Hughes. It has his impressed stamp on the base.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jug was probably made when he was at the Wren Pottery Studio in Surrey in the 1970s. It is made of a rich beige stoneware - and has a lovely shape flaring out gently towards the base. It has a thick ribbon handle. At the neck of the pitcher there are applied glossy glazes - with a pale grey at the top, then a rust brown colour and over all this is a dark treacle glaze. This has been very liberally applied with a brush and so much glaze has been added that it has been allowed to run in long raised drips down towards the base. It is all very painterly - and would make a great addition to your collection of Welsh Studio pottery. Listed at a far price for such a large piece of Hughes Pottery - time to bag a bargain! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good condition with no chips or cracks and no crazing to the glaze. The potter's mark on the side, as photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a nice substantial piece measuring 12 3\/4 inches in height.
