Description

An attractive early 20th century studio pottery stick stand, dating to circa 1920, of square tapering form with a gently flared rim and shaped base.

The surface is decorated with stylised foliage and red flowering motifs, set against a softly speckled ground. The muted greens and warm red tones contrast beautifully with the natural pale green glaze, giving the piece a distinctive Arts & Crafts feel.

The glaze has pooled attractively in places, with subtle variations in tone and texture that highlight its handmade character. These organic qualities, along with minor irregularities, add to its charm and authenticity.

Both decorative and practical, this piece would work well in a hallway for walking sticks or umbrellas, or equally as a striking standalone decorative object.
