Louis Hudson pottery slab vase 1970s vintage, stamped/signed, Cornish studio art. Brutalist modernist geometric, handmade ceramic stoneware

Vase #1 of 2....

A lovely Louis Hudson small slab vase, made in Cornwall, England in the 1970s.
Rectangular with straight(ish) edges, brick like.

Louis Hudson opened a pottery in Trethevy Cornwall in 1971, closing in 1983. His work includes lamp bases, wheel vases, slab vases & cylinder vases in stoneware featuring distinctive geometric mouldings that reflected Cornish ceramics of the time.

This is a super vase with deliberate irregularities (wonky and hand applied patterns) which reflects its handmade studio pottery nature, and giving it great character. The distinctive patterns are runic/Celtic inspired with a modernist/brutalist appearance.

Lovely organic natural earthy neutral tones. Overall sandy warm ochre tones, with unglazed tan and brown coloured raised patterns. Sides are plain moss brown, this colour also acts as a contrast within the patterns. The two feature sides are different patterns.

Would make a fab addition for any collector of Louis Hudson, Cornish or studio pottery and would complement any retro, vintage, 70s, modernist, minimalist or modern interior.

In excellent condition. One manufacturing flaw on the rim, see photos.
Stamped with "lr" on the bottom right of one side, and also signed on the base with the number 8.
Would hold a good dozen short flower stems.
A petite size - 13.5 x 7.5 x 6cm max.

A fascinating artwork!
