‘African mask’ vase. Unidentified Pottery. Moulded red-brown earthenware vase with textured surface, geometric relief decoration and applied shapes, partly painted in enamels; not glazed. The form and decoration suggest a primitive head and shoulders, with a circular opening at the top and deep hollow interior. A bolt like shape is attached on either side of the head and a triangle shape to one side of the neck. The facial features and a number of geometric shapes on the shoulders and upper body are defined by relief and incision and picked out in dull earth colours. The back is combed. The rim is outlined in black. The underside is partly hollow, the rest painted in black. Hand modelled red earthenware with relief, combed and incised and painted decoration, after 1960. Production Note: Possibly Troika Pottery, St Ives and Newlyn (1963-1983), although without the usual Troika factory and decorator’s marks.
