Vintage Ray Cook Australian Pottery Vase 1968‑1971

This vintage mid‑century Raynham vase, hand‑finished by renowned Australian ceramicist Ray Cook, captures the bold creativity of the late 1960s. Featuring its original Raynham label and Cook’s signature, it represents a vibrant era in Australian studio pottery, blending functional form with distinctive artistry.

Shape 14 presents a gently rounded body rising to a narrow neck and subtly flared rim, perfectly proportioned for display. The turquoise‑glazed lip cascades into a flowing drip‑glaze in earthy browns, greens, and golds — a signature palette of Cook’s late‑period work that gives the piece depth, warmth, and a unique organic character.

In excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs, this vase is an exceptional example for collectors and interior stylists alike. Its striking colour contrast and authentic provenance make it ideal for showcasing mid‑century Australian design, whether as a stand‑alone statement or part of a curated pottery collection. 15cm high.
