A super Louis Hudson wheel vase, made in Cornwall in the 1970s...
Round with flat edges, disc or coin like shape. Different pattern on each circular face, with plain sides. Carefully applied patterns; concentric rainbows of lines with random runic patterns and dots, and triangles and lines to the other. Good sized slot at the top for flowers - would hold a dozen stems. It has the 'lh' stamp to one side. All handmade at Louis Hudson's studio.
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 fascinating vase with deliberate irregularities (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 earthy neutral tones. Beige neutral background colour, with unglazed and glazed tan brown coloured raised 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 very good condition with no chips. Being handmade it may have some deliberate wonky imperfections or splodges of colour. It has marker pen to the base - I'm not sure if this originated from the studio. There's an area of missing beige glaze, from manufacture, near to the logo. All lovely, and displays very well... the complex side is stunning!
A small to mid-sized wheel, 14cm wide x 14cm tall x 5cm deepest (quite narrow). 
Includes P&P to the UK.
