Fine set of 3 lidded jars by master potter Glynn Hugo (1934-2024) with earth tone glazes and exceptional thrown forms

13.5cm high | all stamped Hugo to base 

Born in 1934, Glynn Hugo was an internationally acclaimed British studio potter whose highly collectible vessels are represented in major global institutions, including the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

This rare set of three matching lidded jars demonstrates his technical precision and is a standout acquisition for collectors of mid-century British ceramic art.

From The Guardian obituary
In 1972, [Glynn and his wife Jo] moved to Darsham in Suffolk, where they converted what had been a village shop into a home, studio and showroom. Success followed, with exhibitions in Japan, Germany, Hungary, South Africa and the US, a prestigious award in Italy, and the acquisition of one of his vases by the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York. His experience of running workshops in Poland led to darker pieces about oppression and suffering. He liked to work in an open-necked white shirt with music, preferably Wagner, playing in the background.
