ink stamp - Bloomington Pottery Company
by chasdevlin December 12th 2020, 4:42 pm
Any help with this will be appreciated.
A vase of 13.5 cm or just over 5 inches height. It has the look of Devon/Cornish ware to me, but I can't ID the pottery.
It has a large semi oval stamp on the base which is a bit faded and smudged. The second line definitely says 'pottery company', but although I can make out some of the letters in the first line, I can't connect them in a way that makes sense! The typeface looks thirties to me.
Hopefully someone recognises it. Cheers G

Not sure it’s Holkham. It’s not their usual round ink stamp and I’m not making out Holkham on the letters. Second word seems to end in ....GTON

Just giving this a last bump in the hope someone may recognise the stamp.

It can take a while to get an ID. I have a database of marks I add to which includes ink stamps, so if & when another of these pops up - hopefully one that’s legible - I can come back to this one

Looks like first line finishes as "HUNGTON"
Don't know if it's a letter "w" ? just before, or a kind of symbol like "infinity" ?
On the left side, at first I would have say it starts with something like TO... but "o" is not written that bold. Maybe numbers ? 1 0 ...

Is it worth taking some more shots of the base from different angles/lighting as it may make some of the letters clearer...... possibly

An enhanced image. "Pottery company" is fairly uncommon wording,
certainly for studio wares, but sure I've seen this before somewhere.

I thought the same, DD, from the beginning, as the font is distinctive too but my excuse is that it is something that I wouldn't have remembered.

I'd rather given up on an ID for this, so to log in and see this solved was a wonderful surprise. Many thanks Janet!
I look forward to researching this pottery today. Thanks everyone for spending time searching.
