Its gracefully curved silhouette is inlaid with contrasting wood panels — warm honey-amber tones alternating with rich darker brown, creating a geometric decorative effect that is unmistakably mid-century in character. The wood appears consistent with contrasting tropical hardwoods of the period, possibly mango or similar, giving the base a warmth and individuality that ceramic and ceramic-effect bases of the same era cannot match. There are no visible maker's markings — the base may be British-made or imported, as was common with lamp bases of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe shade — spun fibreglass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSheerlite Shades Ltd of Sheerwater, Woking, Surrey were the leading British supplier of spun fibreglass lamp shades of this type during the 1960s and 1970s — and the cylindrical spun fibreglass shade on this lamp is entirely consistent with their production. The fine horizontal spinning texture of the fibreglass catches and softens the light in a way that creates a warm, enveloping amber glow when illuminated — as the night photograph shows clearly. The orange fibreglass transforms the atmosphere of a room in a way that modern lamp shades simply cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1960s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHourglass vase form — contrasting two-tone wood inlay panels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpun fibreglass — cylindrical, orange (consistent with Sheerlite production)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52.5 cm (20¾ inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.5 cm (9¼ inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 cm (4 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB22 bayonet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRewired and fully tested — ready to use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnmarked — base and shade consistent with British 1960s production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid century modern, retro British design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition with light signs of age consistent with its years.

The Dumbarton factory opened in 1948 and at its peak employed 1,100 people, producing 10,000 clocks a week and exporting to over 110 countries. It received a royal visit from Queen Elizabeth II in 1971, and in 1974 hosted a space seminar featuring astronaut Neil Armstrong and astronomer Sir Patrick Moore.

The clock is decorated in the immediately recognisable Jersey Pottery style of the 1970s: a rich chocolate brown glaze over a warm ochre ground, with hand-worked sgraffito ribbon patterns flowing in layered waves around the outer ring, interspersed with raised circular bosses glazed in deep teal. Twelve tactile dot markers on the inner rim serve as purpose-designed hour positions, and the bold gold-tone hands read cleanly against the dark glazed centre.

The first factory was established on the site of a former shipyard in Gorey Village, close to the sea. After the restrictions lifted, the business was purchased in 1954 by the Jones family, who reinvented it as a destination for the growing postwar tourist trade. At the height of the tourism boom in the 1980s, Jersey Pottery attracted over one million visitors each year to its factory, showroom, gardens and restaurants in Gorey. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the factory as part of an official Island visit — a measure of the esteem in which the pottery was held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brown ribbon sgraffito style seen on this piece is the signature aesthetic of Jersey Pottery's 1970s output — a primarily brown and green palette with themes inspired by stylised natural forms, typically executed in a ribbon pattern that became the pottery's most enduring and collected design language. Jersey Pottery closed in 2020, making original pieces from the Gorey factory years increasingly sought after. This clock dates from the height of the classic period — a purpose-designed ceramic timepiece, crafted with the same care and attention as every piece to leave the Gorey factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJersey Pottery, Gorey Village, Channel Islands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1970s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurpose-designed ceramic wall clock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-worked sgraffito ribbon pattern with raised teal bosses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChocolate brown over ochre ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHour markers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwelve raised dot bosses on inner rim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-tone — new, professionally fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew quartz battery — silent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 inches (25 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
