Charlie Boyce, Aysgarth Pottery

This was a little pottery based in the Yorkshire Dales National Park that I often passed when I was working up in Wensleydale during the late 1990s. I bought a few pieces from their shop in Aysgarth village and have since bought one or two more because the pottery is now closed and I like to buy locally-made work. I know nothing about who ran it or when it opened and or when it closed although it was sometime before 2009. They are all in earthenware and colourfully decorated with slip-trailed flowers etc. The candle stick is 12cm (height), the plate (one of two, the other broken in use) is 24.6cm (diameter).

Haven't been able to identify who made this one. There seems to have been a lot of attention paid to making a good stamp so I thought they would probably have a significant output and thus there would be info out there, but have not found anything. Its not helped by the fact that it could read "CAB" or "ACB" (or even "EAB" or "AEB"); I've looked at all these possibilities.

Its 3" high and 3 1/2" diameter across the rim. The linear decoration is incised into a tenmoku glaze, which is covered by a transparent glaze. Any suggestions?

Thanks Naomi - I still have this one in a box somewhere!
