Dartington Pottery

Alan threw and decorated this vase in 2005 using reduction-fired stoneware and the outstanding glaze research of Stephen Course.
Alan was works director at Dartington before returning to Poole Pottery where he still works today

Any ideas when Wayne Hannaford was working at Dartington. Information seems a bit sketchy about him. Thanks John

Petra Tilley reckons it was Hannaford or Hunniford .

well she should know

Apple design fruit bowl designed by Helen Hewitt

Very nice, a bargain indeed. Is that the DP mark part of the pattern I can see on the base?

yes it was a superb bargain because the seller didn't spot that hand painted mark on the base

Found my first piece of Dartington pottery at an antiques last Easter weekend.

Lovely blue bowl - 1980s?

13cm diameter, 7.5cm high.

I'm wondering if there's a monogram on the base?

I think it's just part of the glaze decoration .

I think you're right. I didn't notice it until I looked through the photographs. It's like one of those coloured dot patterns they test you with at the opticians to show if you're colour-blind.
