Description

Poole Pottery is one of the most distinctive and highly collectible potteries of the twentieth century. Founded by Jesse Carter in 1873, the factory quickly gained recognition for its tiling products, mosaic flooring, and advertising panels. Over time, the company developed a unique hand-decorated style that became synonymous with elegance and modernism. In the 1920s and '30s, Poole Pottery drew inspiration from various historical styles and cultures, including Egyptian, Grecian, and Middle Eastern influences, to create highly decorative wares. The firm's Studio range, introduced in 1958, marked a significant shift towards experimental design, with artists and decorators pushing the boundaries of production techniques. This innovative approach helped establish Poole Pottery as a leading force in British craft pottery.
