Dedham Pottery vase hand thrown by Hugh Cornwall Robertson. It has a very good red lustre glaze with some iridescence. It measures 5 1/8 inches in tall and 3 3/8 inches in diameter at the widest. Marked with a hand incised Dedham Pottery and Hugh’s conjoined HCR. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or firing flaws, just an in the making clay shrinkage fissure at the foot which does not go into the glaze. Hugh Robertson was fascinated by Asian ceramics and glazes, in particular the Chinese oxblood red. Often called experimental, this work is really Hugh's true art pottery. A good piece of sang de boeuf Dedham.
