Yes

I have one with a green glaze and we used to have a golden-glazed one like the original poster's, all with the crossed wheatstalks. I used to live in Kingham as a boy and would pass Evenlode Pottery when I cycled to Morton-in-Marsh (where there was and is an excellent toyshop). I stopped in there about four years ago. The pottery had closed as Dieter had died, but by chance his daughter was there. She told me that Dieter had been a prisoner-of-war in England, fell in love while he was here and took up pottery as a student of his father-in-law. I picked this up yesterday with some other pieces while clearing my late my mother's house.

Examples of Dieter Kunzemann's marks; not all are in the Marks book -
Seems that Coldstone sometimes stamped an O behind or over the DK mark. Unknown why they did that, but possibly they were decorated by Kunzemann's wife.

Also these two marks, which seem to be CK for Coldstone Kiln, one also bears Mick Dixon's mark

A nice little dish by Dieter Kunzemann. The shape, colour and decoration all seem to complement each other perfectly.

Purchased today from a carboot for 50p! unsure of mark as it seems that it has not been fully impressed. Looks like a B and A monogram.

many thanks

That is a Great 50p find!

by mikey1972 July 15th 2018, 6:02 pm

Any ideas who the potter is?

I would guess from the mixed clay that it’s an early Evenlode one

by mikey1972 July 15th 2018, 6:31 pm

yet again many thanks. I looked at it the wrong way up. once you mentioned the name it was quite clear whose the logo was.

Hi All
i've just bought some slipware dishes that I can't find the maker of so would appreciate any ideas please. I've 5 of these small dishes with differing slip patterns. They are very charming, well made and tactile and I'm using them to put snacks in them to go with a nice cold beer! Most Excellent

A useful snippet of information via Paul Rice

many years ago I bought a "set" of Coldstone with jug and bowl marked with a DK and in a slightly different material. Margaret Leach told me they were by her good friend, Dorothy Kemp. I wrote to Dorothy who told me she did wheat ear decoration before Dieter Kunzerman and sent me her original seal which perfectly matched the DK signed "Coldstone" pots.

by **Davee** February 21st 2021, 1:20 pm

That's interesting, never even considered it could be by anyone else. The mark certainly looks more like Kemp's than Kunzemanns, although I have never seen any Kemp in this style?

by **NaomiM** February 21st 2021, 3:54 pm

In guessing all of Kemps pieces have been attributed to Kunzemann. There might be an example in Aberystwyth or York collections

by **studio-pots** February 22nd 2021, 10:42 am

The information from Paul Rice should be used with caution.
