Strange random oxide brushwork.

That's a nice big piece.

As Dan intimated, you don't see these for sale very often. I wonder just how many were actually made.

It's a bit top-heavy with the small foot, so I wonder how many toppled over and broke.

I did wonder about that, as it does look like it'd knock over very easily. I guess you use some museum putty/mastic on the base.

Just a couple more of my better 49s.

Unsigned TV mark.


Margaret Anderson, Studio.


Carolyn Bartlett, Blue dolphin.


Jean Millership, Blue dolphin.

My fave is that top one.

Here are a few 14" Shape 5 chargers...

And a couple of early Shape 81s...

Yes, it's my fave, too.

It has the blue dolphin mark and was painted by Margaret Anderson.

Here's a Delphis spear dish by Geraldine O’Meara which has the blue dolphin mark (no shape number).

We dated the small footrim to large footrim changeover to second half of 1966, although it is likely both overlapped for a short while.

I don't remember dating when the footrim was removed. From my own records it looks to be about 1971.

Here's a 5-inch Shape 49 done by Gillian Taylor, who I believe worked at Poole around 1971/72.

As you can see, it has a footring...

Here are two pieces with what has been referred to as the JOC mark.

There's a Delphis item on ebay with the same mark and the seller says it belongs to Jackie Moulton.

I can't find any reference to Jackie, so wonder if anyone here knows when she worked at Poole.

I have seen living glaze from the 80's and Jackie Moulton90's described as decorated by her

Thanks, Dan

The mark looks similar, but I don't think those Delphis items were done by Jackie.

no I doubt she was at Poole then

I think there are still a quite few unidentified delphis marks, which we will probably
never know.  l.l  being a particularly good one.

had this little beauty turn up this morning after my post office lost it for a couple of days . 8" with the later studio mark 1964-66 and also betty bantens mark . orange peel glaze to boot

8 Inch Delphis plate by Betty Banten with blue Poole England stamp 1966

Here's a 5" shape 49 which has the blue Dolphin mark on the base. There's no shape number and it is unsigned.

You can see it's carved - sgraffio - to reveal the white body.

I assume the brown and pale yellow rings of colour is slip. What do you think?

Here's a 5-inch Studio dish. It has the TV mark and isn't signed.

I just got a message - see below - from the Guardian:

Many thanks for your recent GuardianWitness contribution. I wanted to let you know that your photo '1960s Poole Pottery' will be featured in tomorrow's edition of The Guardian Do Something magazine, Saturday 8 November. Hope you will be able to grab a copy.

Kind regards

Tom

Here it is...

Here's the newspaper...

I have just got an email as a result of that photo. Here it is:

I work for an independent television production company called RDF Television and we make a number of high profile shows for all the major channels. We are currently producing the second series of Collectaholics for BBC2, a primetime show presented by antiques expert Mark Hill which explores people’s passion for collecting.

We are looking for a ceramics collector to feature on the programme. Is this something that interests you? I'd love for us to feature a Poole Pottery collection.

I hope to speak to you soon.

I'll let you know how it pans out, but with me being over in Taiwan, it's doubtful they'll proceed.

Ooh, I love that programme. I hope you're in it.

Yes, but they have got back to me and as I thought, me being over here is a problem: it's a no-go.

Who here wants their collection on telly?

I couldn't spend time with that prick
