Poole Pottery "Vincent"

Poole Pottery Vincent was introduced in 1994 and was designed by Anita Harris. It is one of the most eye-catching Poole designs of this period, with large yellow sunflower heads set against a lively blue sponged ground on white earthenware.

The design is often referred to by collectors as Poole’s Sunflower pattern, but its proper name, Vincent, reflects the clear influence of Vincent van Gogh’s famous sunflower paintings. The combination of sponge decoration and hand-painted detail gives the pattern a bright, expressive quality, with each piece having a little of its own character.

Vincent was made across a useful range of tableware and serving pieces, including plates, bowls, cups, saucers, teapots and larger serving items. Its strong colour and instantly recognisable design have made it one of the more popular later Poole Pottery patterns.

Customers looking for Poole Pottery Vincent replacement china are often trying to replace a broken cup, saucer, plate, bowl, teapot or serving piece, complete a part service, or add useful extras to an existing set. Availability can vary, as our stock depends on what becomes available through the pre-loved market.

When matching Vincent, it is worth checking the Poole backstamp, shape, decoration style and glaze carefully. The popularity of the design means sunflower-inspired tribute pieces can occasionally appear, so collectors looking to match an original Poole service should take care to compare genuine Poole pieces rather than relying on the sunflower motif alone.
