This is a lovely piece of vintage mid-century Cornish pottery. The jugs in this pattern are much harder to find.
It was from a range designed by Bill and Maggie Fisher at Celtic Pottery, Newlyn in Cornwall.
It is the popular Phoenix bird design. The jug is hand-decorated with a strange bird creature who is ascending and re-born from a fire. There are black abstract shapes on each side of the jug and with the customary Phoenix bird running down the front of the jug.
This is a classic piece of mid-century British art pottery, and it is always a popular design with collectors.
Dimensions: Height is 6 inches. The base is 3 3/4 inches and the rim is about 3 inches in diameter.
CONDITION: It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. These pieces of Cornish vintage pottery are not becoming highly sought after. My jug also retains its original paper label.
