This rare vase was hand thrown and decorated by South African Studio Art Pottery “The Old Jar Pottery” which existed in Benoni and closed down in 1984, but had apparently already ceased most manufacturing by 1983. Their characteristic and unique decoration of hand thrown pieces encapsulated a turquoise colour along with white used primarily as the predominant colours and then additional patterns added with black, mocha, tan and sky blue. Geometric floral and other African styles were generally their forte.
This item is a beautiful art pottery vase and is hand decorated in the traditional unique manner.
Since the studio’s closure in 1984, their art pottery has gained recognition and has become widely collectable due to its rarity.
The vase is marked TOJ handmade N 148
The vase is in perfect condition.
Height 13.4 cm, Diameter: 6.5 cm
