A vintage handmade vase, by Rye Pottery, Sussex. This is in the iconic Cottage Stripe pattern and is a mid century late 1950s original. 
Rye Pottery was John Cole and Walter Cole. Walter (Wally) was responsible for creating the ceramics and running the pottery while John made the designs and created the patterns and decorations. As their work became increasingly popular, the Coles began to employ and train other staff - throwers David Sharp, Dennis Townsend, Raymond Everett, David Smeed and Jim Elliott who were later joined by Pam Goddard and June Woolley.
This will be by Wally Cole. The old red clay was dug up by the Coles locally so dates it to an early vase. Wheel thrown and glazed white, the slightly flared simple vase has dusky pink and fine blue/grey hand-painted vertical stripes (Cottage Stripe design).
Excellent condition, as manufactured/hand made. 13.5cm tall x 9cm widest at rim. Perfect for a collection.
