John & Sue Sneddon, St Agnes Pottery, Cornwall 1960 - 1970s

Asking for a friend.

Anyone recognise the mark

Pair of vintage Sneddon pottery candle holders. hand made by studio potters John & Sue Sneddon, The Pottery, St. Agnes Cornwall. Very short lived pottery, never seen theee wares or pottery before. Pottery closed many years ago, late 1970s 1980 I think.

Discovered the Sneddons bought the premises (in the 60s) from Arthur and Nancy Homer who ran it as a pottery in the 50s before Nancy Homer took up painting instead.
John Vasey took over in 1978 when the Sneddons emigrated to the US.
In 1981 Vasey moved up the road in St Agnes and the National trust took over the premises.

The Sneddons also used a mark in the shape of a building or old tin mine Engine house.

Hi NaomiM! Yes I had some pieces before with the old tin mine Engine house, did not at the time know who they were made by. They sold very quick if I remember.

Thanks for the update

Hi I have had these salt and pepper pots for a long long time and have at last got round to trying to ID them
The mark to me is undecipherable but with its high line entry holes it’s quite distinctive.
Any pointers appreciated
