Two Briglin Pottery mugs. Vintage handmade large cups. Retro clay 1960s/1970s. Brown sunflower/daisy flower + stripe. British art ceramic

A pair of larger mugs by Briglin Pottery, London, from the 1960s or 1970s.

Handmade with red clay, both are stamped with the Briglin name to the baselines. Wheel thrown/turned items, chunky handmade retro Studio Pottery style - very typical of the era. One is decorated with two sunflowers or daisies each side. The flower motifs are matte due to the wax resist methods used. The flowers have brick red centres with black petals. The other mug has slanted stripes, in the same colourways. The mugs are tones of glossy browns - from beige to dark brown. They're a matching pair with glossy glaze inside and suitable for use.

Apx 12.5 tall x 7.5cm wide, a good size. Around 450ml capacity (3/4 pint) each. Great condition - the striped one has the tiniest base nibble, see pics.

Price includes P&P to the UK.


Useful info: The Briglin Pottery was a studio pottery founded in 1948 by Brigitte Goldschmidt and Eileen Lewenstein in the basement of premises at 66 Baker Street, London. Its object was "to produce well designed, attractive pots that could be used in the home, and to sell them at affordable prices." It produced a large quantity of domestic pottery, much of it recognisable from its dark earthenware body, muted colours, white glaze and wax resist designs. They ceased trading in 1990.
