Poole Pottery up to 1959 & Traditional

Just been adding a few recent additions to my cabinet



4th right at the top is a rare pink ground vase from 1935/6 painted by Ruth Pavely. Found at our local "junk" auction a few weeks ago much to my surprise!
2nd right top was from Lynne (who is a member here) via eBay. This is a late '20's / early '30's version of the Erna Manners Grape pattern painted by Gwen Dry, the first piece I have ever owned by her. It is interesting to see how the pattern developed from the 1921/2 older brother behind it. Nice one Lynne!
4th left bottom is a Carter & Co tin glazed with an unusual tinted ground from 1918 - 1921. Paintress mark for Anne Hatchard.

Oh glad you like it Gareth! Was one of the "don't really want to sell this one" pieces, rather like the trial glaze carp... :((

I love that oil/water bottle 3rd from right on bottom row.

Hi there

Can anyone help me with a bit more info on my lovely piece of Poole. It has a hole in the bottom so I am assuming it was produced as a lamp base.

As well as the Poole stamp, it has X/PLT on the base.

Thanks

a very nice piece,designed by Alfred Read and Guy Sydenham in 1954,it looks like a carafe though....does the hole have glaze inside?

Hi there thanks for your comments. Yes, it does feel glazed inside. You will notice on the pattern at the bottom of the piece there is a round piece of paper stuck on. In the same place inside is a plug of something that juts out. It's fixed and does not move. I had assumed that this was for the flex to go thru. Do you know what this was for?

I don't know,why not soak off the paper and see?

Yes, definitely a lamp with the hole for the flex.

With a base like that it's not so good as a vase.

The pattern is called PLT and it was painted by Gwen Haskins (a top paintress) circa 1953-55.

What size is it?

Hi there. Thanks so much for all your comments. It's about 38 cm tall. Not sure what you mean by "not so good". Is this from a collectors point of view, or from a value? Who decides?

I love this piece, so either way it's no matter, although it's always good to know these things.

Thanks again.

Hi Globall6

Apologies - that comment about being "not so good as a vase" was meant to be a joke about how having a hollow base isn't means that it isn't very good for holding water. I think I'll have to lay off the jokes.

Anyway, at 38cm, this is the biggest size carafe lamp poole produced so while not as valuable as the vase version, it's still a great, and pretty valuable piece. Put it this way, i've got a lot of poole and would certain be very proud of it and give it shelf space.

All the best

Kurt

value wise I think those pieces have gone up quite a lot over the past 12 months

Hi there

No apology necessary at all. I really do appreciate all your comments, and guidance. I have a sense of humour that can really be taken the wrong way, so, no worries.

I'm not sure if it is appropriate to ask, but does this forum encourage / allow it's members to trade? I'm considering selling a few pieces and was wondering if that sort of sharing is permitted.

we have a firm policy which prohibits all advertising on the forum but sometimes members do buy from each other via the pm system which is fine ;-)

Thanks for the clarification - I did not want to break any rules.

Interesting that. Glass Messgaes forum has a sale and wanted forum, so people dont flood the other forums. Why not let peopple sell and buy? Shouldnt be any recourse on the forum owners/managers.......

interesting piece.... I have a similar pair of lampbases, same shape, different pattern, both have factory made holes for the flex but both my guys have solid bases. shape by Alfred Read/Guy Sydenham painted by Gwen Haskins. Poole painted mark to base with handpainted X/PRP.
