This is a fine piece of Crich Art Pottery and it dates to the 1980s. This one of is a large tubular shaped vase - with fancy glazes and incised decoration all around. It looks fabulous on display. Great as a decorative piece of British studio pottery or as a vase for holding tall flower blooms. I have another slightly smaller shaped vase in a similar pattern also listed on my store.
Diana Worthy had studied at Camberwell and then at Croydon, under the tutelage of Bridget Riley and Barry Fantoni. She completed her Master's Degree at the Royal College of Art, under David (Lord Queensberry). After graduating she worked for a period at the Kilkenny Design Workshop and then at Denby.
In 1975 Diana and her husband set up the Crich Pottery in Derbyshire. The pottery operated for nearly 30 years, selling works to the British Arts Council, Heals, Liberty’s, as well as exporting to Japan, Norway, Germany, and the States.
The pottery closed in 2004 when Diana moved to Spain. She now keeps alpacas and makes artworks and textile from their wool.
This is a fine tall Crich Pottery mug, with brush decorated abstracted design, oxidized glazes, and sgraffito lines that pick out natural forms.
This one is a particularly attractive example with beautiful glazes all around.
Dimensions: Height 16 1/2 inches. The diameter at the top is just under 3 3/4 inches. The diameter at the base is 4 3/4 inches.
