Troika T0701 Coffin Vase by Avril Bennet

A classic Troika T0701 Coffin Vase decorated by Avril Bennet who worked at Troika Newlyn from 1973 to 1979. Avril's work is some of the most desirable because of her use of strong colours and crisp decoration.

This vase is of the popular 'celtic cross' design, and is decorated in earth tones with elements of the design highlighted in a bright 'Troika Blue'. The inside of the vase is in high gloss white glaze with a dark blue top rim and the base carries the standard Troika painted marks and Avril's easily recognised monogram.

A great vase in an instantly recognisable Troika design and colourway that would make an ideal starter piece for the budding Troika collector or as a wonderful single example of this highly respected pottery. The vase stands 6¾ inches tall and condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or restoration.
