Troika Pottery & The Range Of Pieces Available

Filed under: Troika — Tags: , , — Tess @ 9:00 am

Most people will have heard of Troika pottery, but what they don’t realise is the range of pieces that the pottery produced in a relatively short period of production.

Based down in Cornwall the pottery only produced pieces for 20 years – a short time considering that potteries such as Doulton and Worcester have operated for centuries.

Originally based in St Ives they relocated to Newlyn in Cornwall in 1970. Over this period they produced pieces ranging from dishes, plates, lamps and vases to other display items such as pieces called the Chimney vase or Wheel vase. I’ve pictured below a few of the shapes that are collected today:

This Troika vase is called a rectangular vase and belongs to the textured range that the pottery produced. It has the earlier Troika St Ives pottery mark indicating it is an early vase made when the pottery was based in St. Ives (1960-1970). This particular example has been decorated by Honor Curtis who worked at the pottery from 1968 until 1973. She used the mark on this vase from 1969 onwards so we can date this vase to c1969-1970.

It has been decorated with a brown base with the decoration on some sides being picked out in creams, deep browns and whites with part-glazed sections. On one side it has the Temple pattern, which is very similar to the Troika Taj Mahal pattern, and on another side it has an abstract face design picked out in brown and white glaze.
