About MeThis earthenware pitcher has a bulbous form rising to a cylindrical top section.

The lower third is dark brown and the top two-thirds are light brown with white and dark brown slip-trailed decoration.

This is an early piece of Michael Cardew's work, made at Winchcombe Pottery, Gloucestershire. Cardew took over the disused Greet Pottery in 1926, running it as a rural pottery producing domestic wares. At Winchcombe Cardew also was instrumental in reviving the English slipware tradition, decorating his earthenware pottery with a creamy liquid clay known as slip. He employed Elijah Comfort, who had previously worked as a thrower at Greet Pottery and Sidney Tustin, who learned how to throw at the Winchcombe. They were later joined by Ray Finch who eventually took over Winchcombe Pottery after Cardew returned to Cornwall in 1939.
