Folk Art Botanical Vase by Gerry Unsworth | Signed British Studio Pottery

A Charming Piece of Handmade Studio Pottery

There is a delightful naivety to this vase that gives it such charm. The hand-painted leaves, set against a soft tan-brown glaze, feel reminiscent of traditional folk art, celebrating simplicity, nature and the beauty of the handmade.
The unusual shape only adds to its appeal. Unpretentious and full of character, it is one of those pieces that feels as though it has always belonged in a home.

Beautiful as a stand-alone decorative object, it is equally suited to holding a few stems of cow parsley, dried flowers or whatever happens to have been gathered on a walk. There is nothing complicated about it, yet it has a warmth and honesty that make it hard to ignore.

At Stanley & May, we are always searching for pieces with personality, and this vase had us completely won over. It is simple, unusual and utterly charming.

Hopefully you feel the same way too.
