One of the most collected and affordable pieces is the Troika T2001 Marmalade Pot. This one is a good example which has been decorated by by Louise Jinks, (later McClary) who worked at Troika in Newlyn between 1976 to 1981 and was the Senior Decorator between 1979 and 1981.
The pot is in an overall mid brown colour and each face has a different design with two opposing faces coloured in ochre and light grey, the other two in relief only in the same colour as the ground. The shoulders of the pot are in a dark petrol blue and the inside is in titanium white tin glaze.
It stands 10cm (4 inches) tall to the rim and is 7.5cm (3 inches) square. The base carries the standard hand painted Troika mark and the stylised LJ monogram. In excellent condition with no chips, cracks or other damage evident, a nice piece to start a Troika collection.
