A finely thrown Mike Dodd stoneware lidded jar, glazed in a soft pale grey‑green celadon with subtle pooling and variation across the ribbed body. The lid fits cleanly, and the piece carries Dodd’s impressed MD potter’s mark to the base.
The glaze is typical of Dodd’s early celadon explorations — quiet, natural, and rooted in his interest in wood ash, reduction firing, and traditional English stoneware forms. The jar has excellent presence for its size, with a beautifully tactile surface.
Provenance: This vessel comes from the Oxshott Pottery and Wren family collection, including works held by:
* Denise Wren (Australian/British, 1891–1979)
* Henry Wren (1884–1947)
* Rosemary D. Wren (1922–2013)
* Peter Crotty
The Wrens were foundational figures in British studio pottery, and works from their collection carry strong cultural and collector value.
