Poole Pottery 1960-1980 Part Two

The range was only made for about 2yrs - 1978 - 80ish. Never been too popular for collectors so consequently pieces don't tend to cost too much. Sienna name comes from colours used - raw sienna is a form of naturally occurring iron oxide while burnt sienna has been heated to alter its chemical comp. Commonly know as yellow and red ochre today. Raw and burnt Umber are also forms of iron oxide originally found in the Umbria region of Italy. Thats your paint/pigment chemistry lesson for the day.

Atlantis vase by Jenny Haigh. Shape A2, 13,5cm tall. Marked A2/3 with rectangular impressed Poole mark and JH monogram.

Seems to be taking texture to a whole new level with this slightly alarming tooth effect.,

Olympus 60 C Seville vase.
I'm guessing it's a slightly incomplete mark for Susan Barfoot.

The 5" dish on the left arrived today and is very similar to two others I have.

All three have the Studio mark, with the dish in the middle having the earlier TV version.

Just photographed for reference. gL mark  

Had this beauty arrive today. Without doubt a TM piece but unsigned

That's a wonderful find Lee. What size?

Normal size of about 11". I have heard about slightly smaller ones

Does anyone know what Jennie Haigh did after finishing at Poole pottery??….

Bought this Poole Seal made for the WWF and would like to know a little about the Mark and which year it was made !!. Thank you

Seal Stoneware sculpture #768, first designed in 1979.
I think the decorator is Faith Hole.

There was also a stoneware plate that was commissioned by the WWF with a seal on it, in an edition of 7,500.

Thank you guys, appreciate the info

A shame about the chip and crack

A ltd edition plate of 1000 commemorating European Architectural Heritage year, 1975.

Cheers When I saw ovenproof I assumed it was part of a dinner service

It is possible that the dish should have had a footrim so that it wouldn't look like a tableware dish. Sometimes you will find delphis dishes that are marked as shape 3A or shape4A rather than the usual shape 3 or 4. These dishes are the same diameter but do not have footrims. What probably happens is that towards the end of the day the paintresses would run out of the appropriate dishes so would go to the nearby tableware section and take blank dishes to decorate. Sometimes shape 49 dishes turnup with no footrim and an indentation to the centre showing them to be small saucers.

Cheers
