Description

Studio pottery is pottery made by professional and amateur artists or artisans working alone or in small groups, making unique items or short runs. Typically, all stages of manufacture are carried out by the artists themselves.

If you're looking for unique, decorative yet functional items for your home, vintage ceramics are all you need. Becoming more and more fashionable, these stand out pieces would look lovely in any style home.

Made in the early 1990s by Cumbrian based potter Chris Lucas, known for his thrown, press moulded and hand built bottle and container forms in reduced stoneware. Chris Lucas is among many potters included in the book 'British Studio Potters' Marks' by Eric Yates-Owen and Robert Fournier, the first comprehensive directory of 20th century British Studio Potters.

Lucas' first sporadic burst of creative pottery productions happened whilst he was a student in the early sixties at Bretton Hall College, now Yorkshire Sculpture Park . You can see the influence of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth in his sculptures and his pots at this time including jugs, cups and vases have a dark rustic earthy glaze.

The late seventies saw another creative spurt but his trademark distinctive light glaze sculptural forms emerged through the early to late nineties. He was more interested in creating unique pieces with as little as three in a series, with an approach more akin to a sculptor than production line pottery. His influences and inspiration came from far and wide, along with an enduring passion for Japanese ceramics.

Lucas worked primarily as a teacher at Cumbria College of Art & Design, then latterly at Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton for many years before his recent passing.

This beautiful, highly sculptural handmade vase/vessel is sure to look great on any shelf. With a natural and minimal aesthetic it's the perfect item to add to any collection, or the perfect piece to start. In lovely condition for its age, chip and crack free.

Measures approximately 35cm tall and 11cm wide. 

For those of you that live in the UK and have a similar love for studio pottery, make sure you pay a visit to the York Art Gallery. Now the world’s most extensive collection of British Studio Pottery, with more than 5,000 pieces, well worth a trip.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

Price match guarantee

If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
