Figure 73  Vases, 1950–1970. Whiteware. H. 4 1/4". Many of these globular vases were found in Thorley’s studio. Some—bearing printed or handwritten marks—were ready to be sold, whereas others were experimental pieces, showing only the numerals and letters of the formula he was trying. Also found was a master mold (a positive mold in plaster of paris that looks like a larger but solid version of the final piece) and an example that had been fired once, marked, and covered with a coat of glaze not yet fired.
