It is in good condition with no chips or cracks. There is quite a lot of craquelure to the glaze on the back. This seems to be a common occurrence on these vintage Lambert pieces. The image on the front is relatively free of blemishes and it certainly displays well. It is sold as a decorative item and not for dining.

He originally lived in Britain and moved to Vancouver immediately after World War II. He was instrumental in promoting ceramics in British Columbia. As there were no ceramic supply stores early potters in BC purchased many of their materials through Lambert potteries. David Lambert designed small kilns and sought out materials making it possible for the growing number of potters to establish their own studios.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLambert was also responsible in part for getting pottery classes started in Vancouver by encouraging the School Board to include pottery in their curriculum. Beyond his encouragement of the Vancouver School Board, he also taught wheel-throwing courses at the School of Decorative and Applied Arts (now Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design). His commercial work was strongly influenced by the First Nations artworks and patterns he experienced in British Columbia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39745025474624,"sku":"Sold for £125","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-canadian-studio-pottery-raven-inside-killer-whales-made-in-vancouver-by-david-lambert-international-ceramics-403.webp?v=1793996766","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/vidavid-lambert-raven-inside-killer-whales-made-in-vancouver-canada","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
