A striking 1930s earthenware chamber pot manufactured by the renowned British pottery firm Burleigh Ware at the historic Middleport Pottery in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. This piece carries the classic green beehive backstamp on the base.
Featuring a vibrant, slip-banded bright yellow ground, the body is decorated with hand-painted green beech leaves on stark black branches. The wide, flanged rim is finished with a gradient green border and a classic Art Deco black dotted accent line along the top edge. Originally part of a traditional bedroom wash set, this piece offers an excellent, heavy-bottomed shape that means it can also potentially be used as a unique indoor planter, plant pot, or bulb bowl.
