On offer is a beautifully hand-crafted studio pottery vase by British potter Tony Bristow, produced in Chillington, Devon, where he established a strong reputation for richly textured and individually decorated ceramics. This striking vase stands at approximately 10 inches tall and features a finely incised design of stylized flowers and trailing foliage, encircling its gently tapered midsection.

The surface is decorated with a harmonious blend of earthy brown tones and subtle horizontal striations, accentuated by hand-carved vertical impressions that give the body a wonderfully organic, bark-like texture. The upper neck flares outward in a classic studio pottery profile, finished in a soft, contrasting off-white glaze on the rim interior. The incised decoration offers a tactile and visual rhythm, clearly the work of a skilled hand with an eye for form and surface balance.

The base is signed “Tony Bristow” and bears the original Chillington, Devon studio label — an added assurance of its authenticity and provenance. This piece is an excellent example of mid-to-late 20th century British studio ceramics, which continue to rise in popularity among collectors and interior designers alike for their warmth, craftsmanship, and connection to natural forms.
