We have just added a stunning Troika pottery cube vase to our Troika pottery section. This Troika vase is heavily coloured with a green wash which really brings out the abstract brown and cream patterns.

This particular Troika vase has been decorated by Louise Jinks who became one of Troika’s senior decorators in the late 1970′s when they were based at the pottery in Newlyn, Cornwall.

Early Troika St Ives Glazed Cube Vase

Filed under: New Stock,Troika — Tags: , — Tess @ 7:30 pm

Often overlooked, Troika’s smooth-glazed ware can be very appealing. Take this early smooth glazed Troika pottery cube vase from the St Ives period:

This cube vase is quite different to the cube vases from Troika’s textured range. It is simple in design but very modern – not dissimilar in some ways to the style and attraction of Wedgwood’s Keith Murray pieces. Decorated with a brown glaze and white circle on each side, it has a certain appeal to it and really catches the eye when it’s placed among pieces of Troika from the textured range.

This cube vase is an early example, made when the Troika pottery was based in St Ives, Cornwall – before they moved to Newlyn in 1970. It dates from the mid to late 1960s and has the rather nice type printed Troika St Ives England pottery mark.

Unusual Troika Pottery Fish & Palm Tree Design!

Filed under: New Stock,Troika — Tags: , , — Tess @ 10:30 am

In our Troika section we have a new Troika pottery cube vase with a most unusual pattern.

This cube vase has a striking blue base with abstract designs on two sides, a fish pattern on one side and a palm tree design on another side! Quite an unusual and attractive design.

It has been decorated by Vicky Drew. Vicky Drew worked at the Cornish pottery through a Youth Training Scheme and was only there for six months so you don’t often come across her pieces so it makes it especially nice that it is such a striking pattern as well.
