Conwy Pottery (Wales)

Has the Conwy factory ever come up for discussion on this site? I have several pieces clearly covering quite a span of time. Anyone know much about them? Susie

The silence suggests there hasn't been a discussion before.

I don't really know much, although I feel I ought to as I was born a few miles from there in Wrexham and spent most of my childhood holidays on the North Wales coast. I remember Conway Castle from those times but not the pottery!

Anyhow, it seems to have been started by John Wynne Morris and his wife Carol in 1971 when it was located at 8/9 Castle Street. It disappeared in 1980 but restarted at Tyn-y-Coed Farm in Glan Conwy in 1986, and as far as I know is still going. They produce stoneware and porcelain.

Marks are C, CP or CAZ (Carol?). Pre-1980 marks include JWM or JM variations.

This from Fournier's potters marks book.

Any photos of your pieces?

Did get a bit silent... so thanks for info.
For the love of me I cant find the earliest pre 80s piece which was a brownish honey coloured glaze and fairly small and I am pretty sure it was incised ca mark. But cant be sure.
Here are some 80s pieces
- The fifth one is not stamped by looks at home with these. Best Susie
I know my sister also bought some as well.

Could this small pot be from Conwy Pottery? The mark appears to read -----WY POTTERY and Conwy was the only pottery I could think of ending in WY. None of the marks I have traced however look like this, all seem to include impressed CP.All thoughts gratefully received John

I see your Bud Vase and raise you a Mug





Also Don't know who made it, the mark does look like Conwy, but it's not like any of their marks I have seen?

Potty.

Could be tho, as it seems the cp mark is not the only one they used.

Potty, your stamp looks more complete than mine and I am sure now that it is Conwy.Thanks John

Funnily enough I only got that mug today

Thought Conwy when I saw it / the mark, but was not sure until this thread

Conwy Pottery vase in pastel shades - paper label

New to me - thanks for these threads, they help me a lot

That vase is probably by Carol Wayne Adam.

Thanks

Googled it - Carol Wynne Morris

Another 20p boot find. There is a very feint signature on this but cannot make it out, anyone any ideas. Bit Greek looking so may just be a tourist piece

Hi
I have a bowl that was my mothers and looking on the internet at the impressed C stamp on the underside it seems to point to the potter Joanna CONSTANTINIDIS could anyone confirm this? and if there is any value to the item?
