Lot Details

Early Purbeck pottery textured charger. Finished in various mushroom tones. Banded decoration as shown with a speckled central motif. A large example probably from the hand of Robert Jefferson. Measuring 310mm in diameter. Period studio label still present as noted. Circa late 1960’s. Purbeck pottery was established in Westbourne, near Bournemouth, Dorset in the mid 1960’s by Robert Jefferson and Eddie Goodall, both formerly of Poole pottery. Jefferson pioneering Poole’s delphis range and Goodall being Poole’s chief thrower during the 1950’s. The studio produced a range of table and decorative studio-style stoneware’s. The company moved a few miles from Westbourne to Poole in Dorset in 1995.
