- Brief description:
- This vase was created between 1910 and 1920 at Longpark Pottery. The pottery can be traced back to 1883, when the Longpark Pottery Terra Cotta China Works was established in Newton Road, Torquay. Production was centred on terracotta items. In 1903 the pottery was taken over by a group from the local Aller Vale Pottery. Dissatisfied with conditions at Aller Vale, the group formed their own partnership and purchased Longpark. Longpark Pottery Company Limited registered in 1905. The potters produced decorative glazed pottery, similar to the works made at Aller Vale. This earthenware vase was decorated with cream, green and yellow slips, added on top of a dark green ground to form a daffodil design. It features three loop handles. The maker’s mark ‘LONGPARK / TORQUAY’ was printed under the base. This object is not on display.
