The Corbridge Urn with double handles, is an original Wakefield design, but was inspired by the pottery of Roman towns in the north of England. in A.D. 85, Corbridge was the most northerly town inthe Roman empire.
In 2002, Guy and Peter made a trip to England and Portugal to work with potters. They spent some time in Northumberland near Hadrian's Wall, which is an area rich with the history of the Roman in Britain.
The Corbridge Urn is handmade on the potter's wheel by Peter Wakefield Jackson and is signed and dated.

Limited Editions by Peter Wakefield Jackson are hard to come by these days! His work as Vice President and National Sales Manager for Napa Home & Garden keeps him VERY busy! But when he is not traveling to represent Napa at national trade shows, visit Napa customers or work with its pottery factories in Asia, he likes to keep the creative juices flowing by spending some time in his studio reconnecting with his first love, making pots. Quantities of these pieces are extremely limited. Each is handthrown, signed and dated in Rockdale, Wisconsin.
