A beautifully characterful mid-century jug vase from Honiton Pottery, England, crafted in the pottery’s classic flared trumpet form with slender, curled handle. This mid-century piece dates from 1950s–1960s. 

The central motif is especially delightful: a stylised leaping deer, rendered in soft green tones with expressive slip-trailed brown outlines. Paired with Honiton’s signature dotted detailing and hand-painted florals. Each piece individually decorated — no two Honiton pieces are identical

Pair this jug with other characterful pieces in our Folky Tales Collection.
