Collectible Laurentian Pottery
Laurentian Pottery (1942-1969) remains one of Canada's most celebrated ceramic studios. Based in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, the studio became renowned for distinctive drip glazes and quality stoneware that define mid-century Canadian design. Today, Laurentian pieces are highly sought after by collectors of Canadian pottery and Canadiana.
Signature Green Lava Drip Glaze
The flowing green lava glaze is quintessential Laurentian. Each drip pattern is unique, creating organic textures and rich green tones that capture 1960s retro aesthetics. This distinctive finish makes every piece one-of-a-kind.
Star Weekly Commemorative Marking
The embossed "STAR WEEKLY" at the base connects this cup to Canadian media heritage. Originally the Toronto Star Weekly, the publication went national in 1938 as Star Weekly magazine, becoming a cornerstone of Canadian journalism until 1973.
