Technical Description
A rare early abstract stoneware vase designed by Denis Lucas at the Hastings Pottery in around 1956-59. Fully marked on the base as shown it has a superb rustic feel with a geometric design on the lower half. Superb vintage design in excellent condition.
Hastings Pottery was started in 1956 by Bernard Cotes and Dennis Lucas. Cotes, who had previously worked at Orchard Pottery in Addiscombe near Croydon in Surrey, he left in 1959 and later started Battle Pottery, not far from Hastings.
Lucas continued to run Hastings Pottery until 1995 when it closed. The company made earthenware and stoneware pieces, thrown and hand-built. Dennis Lucas continues to make decorative pots from his new home in Devon.
