Even though 2021 seems to be flying by, we’ve somehow found the time to update our web shop three times this month! With everything slowly opening up here in Wales and over in England, we’ve been heading out on buying trips to both old haunts and new territories.

Here’s a small selection of the freshly-picked vintage items that we’ve listed online this week. Click on each image to be taken to the individual product page.

Designer Desire: Louis Hudson

We have one or two examples of Louis Hudson studio pottery in our personal collection, and we’ve just listed another in our web shop. Therefore, we thought it an opportune time to feature him as this week’s Designer Desire appointee.

Hudson founded his pottery in Trethevy, Cornwall in 1971; only to give it up in 1983, to become a lorry driver!! This is probably why I could find very little information about him online. Despite this short period of production, his work can be found easily and at an affordable price on eBay and Etsy.

We think it’s a bit undervalued, at present. It’s got a classic look from the period – sculptural form, abstract patterns and muted natural tones. It works well in groupings or as stand-alone pieces.
