Poole Pottery "Figures - Cream & Brown Glaze"

Poole Pottery Figures - Cream & Brown Glaze brings together a group of decorative earthenware animal models produced by Poole Pottery and finished in warm cream and brown colouring. The glaze gives the figures a softer, more naturalistic appearance than the brighter Blue Dolphin glaze pieces, while still keeping the modelling recognisably Poole.

The decoration was applied using an airbrush technique, allowing the brown shading to blend gently into the cream body of the figure. This works especially well on animals such as rabbits, mice and other small models, where the softer colour helps bring out the shape and detail without making the finish look too heavy.

Poole produced animal figures over a long period, with different designers, bodies and glaze finishes appearing at different times. The cream and brown figures are a good example of the factory’s decorative output beyond tableware, offering small sculptural pieces that appeal to collectors and animal lovers alike.

For many customers, these figures are collected individually as decorative Poole pieces. Some look for a particular animal, while others enjoy building a small group of related figures in the same cream and brown finish.

As these pieces are now discontinued, availability depends entirely on what becomes available through the pre-loved market. Individual animals, sizes and poses may only appear from time to time, so stock can vary considerably.
