Description: A good example of a piece of early Wincombe studio pottery. This jug, by Pat Groom has the typical Wincombe glaze and combed pattern.
Winchcombe Pottery ranks alongside Bernard Leach's St Ives as one of the pioneer studio potteries in Britain. Michael Cardew revived the old country pottery in 1926, and his ground-breaking work, and the later developments under Ray Finch, have earned it an important place in ceramic history.
Patrick Groom was a local Winchcombe man, born in 1932, who joined Ray Finch at Winchcombe Pottery in 1947 as an apprentice and was there until 1954.
This jug has a small chip on the lip of the spout but this does not detract from the charater of the jug.
Dimensions: H: 16cm 6.5" Diam: 13cm (5")
