Poole Pottery up to 1959 & Traditional

Jam pot - shape No 288, late 1920s/early 1930s.
It is the OR pattern, designed by Truda Adams, but with no
paintress mark, the decorator is unknown.

Thank you very much!

Picked this up in a charity shop today. It has an impressed mark 185 and the artists mark as shown . I believe it is 1950s and the pattern is PQC. Anyone know the artist/potter? Many thanks!

The x usually means Gwen Haskins but there seem to be two paintress marks as the double 'LL' is for Pat Dightam - '53 - '58. The backstamp is '55 - '59. The impressed 185 is the shape number.

Thanks for the names. I am no expert on Poole but the forum is always a good bet with so many contributors. Thanks again!

PQC was by Alfred Read, developed in 1953. Quite a rare freeform shape,
Nice find Pete!

That's interesting to know. I am not a Poole collector, preferring studio items, (jugs mainly?!?). It will end up finding a new home with someone more appreciative. Thanks for your knowledge!

bought today from a charity shop, pink glaze interior, shape 170, mid 50s mark. Can anyone tell me the decorators and possibly the pattern. I have not come across this pattern before. regards....Pete

The decorator is Jean Player, So the pattern is JL.

Thanks DD. I have looked up the JL pattern and a biscuit barrel is listed with my pattern so you know your stuff! I always thought the pink glaze interior indicates a 1930's date, but the mark underneath says 1950's. What are your thoughts on this?

Can't see the JL pattern in the book, so it was just by deduction.
Jean Player was a decorator from 1950-59, so yes 1950s.

I looked up "Poole Pottery JL pattern" on Google images and it brings up all sorts of patterns. Five rows down is a Biscuit barrel with my pattern. It is described as "JL pattern, 1930s". It seems to be the only image available with that pattern, is it rare? Unusual?

It may well be one of the 1930s patterns which were still being used in the 50s and later.

These are two murals on either side of the entrance to a former school in Castleford.

Three Lanes End First School was built between 1939-40 and designed by Oliver Hill. John Skeaping designed the tiles. Sadly, the building is in a bad state with many windows at the rear boarded up.  

Here is the back of the school...



...and this one is me with my bike - to give some scale...

Think its a 50s marrow dish.

UIL is the pattern code, painted by Gwen Haskins, 1956 - 1959.

YO is the pattern code, the x is for paintress Gwen Haskins, 1960's.

Hello, I wondered if anyone could tell me what the mark on the base of the vase/bowl means. I think one is for the artist who painted it, but I've not been able to ID anyone from the mark. The impressed stamp says "LTD" at the end so I believe it's post 1925. Thank you.

Poole Pottery Portuguese stripe pattern jug, James Radley Young modified by Truda Carter, possibly painted by Ruth Pavely, 1922 and 24. I think the pressed stamp top right of the second C is a cross mark, possibly a test piece. Thoughts please and thanks.

There would normally be an incised shape number, but I can't see one.
The pattern code is OR. so it would be design  xxx /OR.
The decorator is Gladys Jeffery, 1926-1930.
