White Glaze Ceramic Vase by Poole Pottery (1950s-60s) UK

A midcentury ceramic vase by Poole Pottery, England, dating to the 1950s.

The vase has a rounded that tapers towards a narrow neck, finished with a gently flared rim. Its simple sculptural form is complemented by a smooth, ivory white glaze.

An understated example of British postwar ceramic design.

The underside bears the blue Poole Pottery dolphin backstamp, introduced in 1952, with several variations used throughout the decade. The mark is consistent with examples dating from 1952 to 1959.
