See full description., A twentieth century brown salt-glazed stoneware jar shaped vase made and fired by Denise K. Wren at The Oxshott Pottery in 1966-1967. This shape of vase was refered to by the maker as "jar with ears". Tall thrown cylindrical shape, with pronounced throwing rings, angled at shoulder to support short narrow cylindrical neck, with thickened band around the rim. Two angular lug handles applied at the rim. The jar is decorated with a rich glaze using wood ashes and oxides, before salt-glazing, giving a surface of mottled dark and lighter browns. The base is incised with "Oxshott" with no obvious sign of the "D K W " mark. The base has been ground to remove alumina (glaze drips). There is one dent in the clay in body below the handle. This piece was inspired by the Argentinian exhibit at the Prague International Ceramics Exhibiton 1962. A similar "jar with ears" is illustrated in the booklet "The Oxshott Pottery: Denise and Henry Wren." published by the Crafts Study Centre, Bath 1984 page 23., Rosemary D. Wren Collection
