A beautifully proportioned original Nicholas Mosse spongeware crock, dating to the late 1970s – the very early years of this now iconic Kilkenny pottery.
Hand-thrown and decorated in the traditional Irish spongeware technique, where pigment is applied using a cut sponge, each piece carries its own quiet individuality and charm.
This example has that wonderfully simple, honest feel typical of Mosse’s early work – more restrained and rustic than later pieces, with a lovely weight and presence. These early forms were rooted in 18th-century Irish country pottery, designed to be both beautiful and functional.
A rare and increasingly collectible piece, perfect as a statement storage jar, planter or simply displayed on a shelf where it can be fully appreciated.
