Hi All, I have a flying duck-- and it has an imprinted makers mark & england imprinted under it. I have searched for hours and can't find what the mark are. The duck is a very high quality I think compared to others - I thought it maybe Beswick but that mark is mystifying! Help please ;-)

this is the middle size 10.25 inches apparently. thanks again.

Hi,
I have got this green glazed Bretby injured dog which has an incised Bretby & sunrise mark with pattern number also incised. Can anyone please advise me as to whether or not this type of mark was typical for the piece? Many thanks.

I would assume they were in the first trial run of the design. After which they probably made a smaller stamp.

I just picked up this nice vase at an estate sale. Can anyone help me with identifying the maker. It is signed but the marking is faint. It looks like 7-8 characters long and I'm guessing it ends in ARD but I'm not positive. It also has the numbers 1670 and 16. Thanks for any help!

Bretby was my first thought too. I’ve seen a few of their pieces with this glaze and made to look like dented cast iron vessels

Really don’t know anything about this. I’ll guess it’s early 20th C rather than 1970s or 1990s.
Nearly 12” tall,  clear moulding lines, oriental type dragon design.
Base is marked, unclear, could be 1998 and a line or 998 within 2 lines.
Darker brown shiny glaze inside.

Possibly by Bretby Pottery, early 20thC

Well done - evidently Delhi Ware by Bretby but mine doesn’t have the full mark on the base. Thanks so much!

I haven't seen this Delhiware before but I'll be buying some very soon

Hi.We recently acquired this Bretby pot but we are not sure of the actual date as all of the other pots we have seen like this, have a B at the end of the serial number whereas ours is a D. Can anyone help with this? Thanks

Hi,

I've just purchased my first piece of Bretby and was hoping for some advice on its age and potential value. It is a small green wavy bowl and has the pattern number 1062B.

Any advice would be much appreciated.



Thanks and best regards

For an idea of value check completed listings on eBay. You may have to save the search if you can’t find the exact shape. Condition and colour are also important deciding factors for collectors. I’m guessing it’s a planter.

Here are two pieces measuring about 26cm and 14cm tall.

The tall vase has number 1700 on the base, plus 12 stamped on the edge, with 7 inscribed into the glaze.

The shorter one is number 1680.
