Colin Kellam

thumbnails for ease

A nice Wall plate (10" Dia.) £4 buy , thankfully one that Potty missed at Malvern   

Colin Kellam lamp base with fuschia decoration, unmarked.

One for Ed.



Teapot

found another lamp today - have seen two in as many weeks.

It has been suggested this is by Colin Kellam? Certainly looks to have the KK mark, not sure what the other mark is though? Will have to do some hunting.

The Marks


The jug is to the back

Colin Kellam employed a number of people to throw and decorate in his pottery over the years and the other impressed seal would almost certainly be that of the thrower of this jug. It may have been decorated by the thrower or by someone else. I haven't been able to track down the thrower.

In reality the double K mark with the second one reversed is the mark to say that the piece was made at the Colin Kellam Pottery rather than a personal seal to say that Colin Kellam made the piece.

Can anyone help ID this vase for me, there is no makers mark but there is a JK Hill London label to the front, I have found this was a pottery shop that sold various potters work, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your replies, I have added a picture of the base, unfortunately it is not signed, is this typical of Colin Kellam pottery?

Not all items are stamped; sometimes at the retailer's request. Or It may have had a label or a loose sheet with Kellam's details instead of a stamp.

J K Hill was an outlet selling just British studio pottery and, knowing the people who ran it, I can't imagine that they would have asked for no seal to be put on the item. Therefore I suspect it was just forgotten by mistake, unless it is on one of the sides not shown in your image (often under the glaze).

Some CK items (see the lamp bases) also had gold stickers.
It may have just fallen off.

Collin Kellam cream jug with cherries

Anyone recognise this potter please?

I have researched this marking but have been unsuccessful. It is 20cms x 20cms. Height 7cms

Any pointers would be welcome. Thank you

Agreed, Colin Kellam. One of his pieces with the same decoration was sold on eBay recently.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. I’ve had a sort out of a box of unknowns...

Hi

Admin feel free to move to the right part of the site.

This bad boy was directly given by CK back in the day to a buyer I wa chatting with and it's so unusual and worthy I thought I'd pass it along.

Cheers

Is it life size?

Making ceramic sculpture was what Colin enjoyed most from what I'm told and so this isn't that unusual. However, he sold thousands of times more domestic ware and so this appears out of character.

I recognised the cockrel and have found this image in my email folder of an unfinished Kellam cockrell
