Poole Pottery "Omega"

Poole Pottery Omega was designed by Fenella Mallalieu and is one of Poole’s most distinctive later tableware patterns. Its abstract decoration, with strong blue shapes, orange accents and fine black linear detail, gives the range a lively, modern character.

The design is set against a creamy sponge-yellow background, which softens the boldness of the pattern while still allowing the colours to stand out. The decoration has a loose, expressive feel, with each piece carrying the unmistakable look of Poole’s more adventurous late tableware period.

Omega is especially effective on bowls and plates, where the wide border gives the abstract motif room to work around the rim. The combination of warm ground colour, deep blue marks and small orange details makes it a very recognisable pattern for collectors and customers trying to match an existing service.

For many customers, Omega is a pattern they are actively trying to keep in regular use. As a discontinued Poole range, it is often sought out by those looking to replace a broken bowl, find a missing plate, or add useful serving pieces to an existing set.

Omega is one of those Poole patterns that tends to sell quickly when it comes in, and we do not see it as often as customers would like. If you are looking for particular pieces and they are not currently in stock, it is well worth registering your interest with us so we can let you know when more becomes available.

Availability depends entirely on what comes through the pre-loved market. As with many Poole designs of this type, slight differences in tone, sponging and decoration placement are part of the pattern’s character.
