1960s Bristow Pottery Malta Vase - Hand-Painted Swirl Design

This is a charming little vase from Bristow Pottery, one of Malta's well-known ceramic makers from the mid-20th century. That speckled cream base with turquoise and brown swirl decoration is classic Bristow style from the 1960s - hand-painted with loose, organic strokes that give each piece its own personality.

What makes this vase special:

• Bristow Pottery, Malta: Recognized Maltese pottery maker with authentic mark
• 1960s design: Mid-century swirl pattern in turquoise and brown
• Hand-painted: Each stroke is unique and organic
• Compact size: 10 x 12 cm - perfect for small flowers or display
• Speckled glaze: Textured cream base adds Mediterranean character

The vase has a nice weight (389 grams) and that slightly rustic, handmade quality that makes Mediterranean pottery appealing. Use it for fresh or dried flowers, or display it as a piece of vintage Maltese craft.
