Add Some Spice To Your Troika Collection
Our site has just been updated with a new piece of Troika pottery - a superb blue Troika Spice vase with white glazed top.
This spice vase has a a white glazed top and has been decorated with a deep blue base on all four sides - two sides being picked out with white decoration.
Spice vases are part of the textured range developed by the Troika pottery. They stand approximately 15cm tall and have a solid square base - making them easy to display with no worries of them toppling over (unlike the small wheel vases!). They were produced with different designs in different colourways, some have white glazed tops (like this one), others have deep blue or a brown tops.
This particular Spice vase has been decorated by Louise Jinks (later Louise McClary). Louise began working at the Troika pottery in Newlyn Cornwall in 1976. Progressing well she then became a senior decorator in 1979, finally leaving the pottery in 1981.
This is a lovely example of a spice vase - the contrast of the blue body and white glazed top making it stand out.
