Item Detail
This is a Vintage Poole Pottery 10" Galaxy Living Glaze Vase c1980s.

This is an exciting, vibrant glaze named the "Galaxy" pattern from Poole, the famous UK art pottery studio. The high gloss "living lava" drip glaze was applied in beautiful reds, yellows, oranges on a smooth, flat black background, a technique Poole is justly famous for. The fiery glazes have been applied forming long loops that end in raised drips and blobs. The glazes are termed "reactive," meaning that each hand applied glaze reacts with the others to form one of a kind pieces. The vase is glazed black inside and on the bottom; the foot rim is unglazed where you can see the white clay that formed the vase.
The bottom of the vase is marked with POOLE and a leaping dolphin. Below the dolphin is the word POTTERY and then ENGLAND.  This mark was used at the studio between the late 1960's and the early 1980's. There is a painted white letter "S" also on the bottom, which is a decorator's mark.
