Based on a drawing by L.S.Lowry this authorised edition have been created by the Dennis Chinaworks and designed by Sally Tuffin.
She has taken Lowry’s original work and interpreted it to work seamlessly around a three dimensional vase.
The 10 inch pot is hand thrown on a wheel by Rory Mcleod and hand painted by Vanessa Thompson using brush techniques which make the pot unmistakably a Lowry.

Dennis Chinaworks has made a stunning cup for Professor Jonathan Mallinson, the retiring Dean of Trinity College Oxford.
Presented to the college it will be displayed with college commemoratives.
The shape is inspired by the carved wooden chalice by Grindling Gibbons in the 17th century college chapel.
The cup is decorated with a pattern fronm the wrought iron gates of the college and impressed with the quotation
'All that is gold does not glitter' and a latin inscription which translates 'A fellow gave this chalice to the fellows with much affection - 2017'.
Thrown by Rory Mcleod, designed by Sally Tuffin & decorated by Theresa Blackmore.
