Commonly referred to as Spice Jar but also known as a Chimney Pot Vase because of its shape resembling a household chimney pot, these come in a huge range of patterns and colours and make a popular collectors item. This particular jar or vase has been decorated by Sue Lowe who worked at the Newlyn pottery for a short time between 1976 and 1977, so pieces decorated by her are somewhat rarer than usual.
The pot is in a light brown with the neck and shoulders in white as is the inside of the vase. Each face shows a different pattern in high relief, with two of the faces having the pattern picked out in complimentary white and blue colours. The base is hand signed by Sue Lowe, with the usual Troika Cornwall marks and the SL monogram. It stands 14.5cm (5¾ inches) tall and 7cm (2¾ inches) square and is in perfect unmarked condition.
A genuinely beautiful item from a sought after decorator.
