lovely pair of vintage ABATY Welsh studio pottery soup bowls, each presented with its original matching saucer.
Hand-thrown in stoneware, these have the wonderfully organic character associated with traditional Welsh studio pottery. The softly speckled oatmeal glaze is decorated with earthy brown bands and distinctive hand-painted spiral motifs, giving the pieces a warm, understated retro feel.
The bowls have generous handles and fitted lids, making them particularly charming and practical for serving soup, broth or a hearty stew. They would also work beautifully as individual serving dishes for other dishes.
particularly love the natural variation in the glaze and decoration — these aren’t pieces that feel mass-produced; they have that unmistakable handmade quality and individuality.
