Deborah / Debbie Prosser

Small (3 3/4" high) studio pottery mug in red earthenware with sgraffito leaping hares and stylised tree in earth tone glazes. Does not appear to be marked anywhere, looks to be of some age and by a skilled hand.
If Barry Flanagan did pottery....

Love the rabbit.
The stripes along the rim are typical of continental folkware. My best guess would be Portugal or Spain.

It might be by Niek Hoogland

OOh...i like Niek Hoogland...another one on my list

Thanks for the research and remembering Naomi, it does appear to be very similar...

A fairly run of the mill slipware jug . 18cm high. Anyone have any ideas on the mark??( apologies for poor focusing)

Had a thought . Could it be Wetheriggs? Seen several images of jugs etc with this design - although I realise it may be quite a popular way of slip decoration.
The marks for Wetheriggs that I've seen are not like this but with some hope the mark could be a 'W' ??

It's possible.
There was Hans Christian Ullrich at Wetheriggs but I think he just used an Ullich stamp.

Yes . In the 'book' it appears the marks were always incised/ impressed on base , not at base of handles and no obvious use of initials or moograms

It's by Debbie Prosser. Very different from her current work

Current mark -



Older mark -

I rather like these two grey glazed bowls which look to be well potted and decorated. Long incised mark on the underside of each - don't know which way it should read.

Blimey, I'd forgotten about these; buried deep in the shed, I think. Anyway, many thanks, Naomi, and very well spotted.

If I'm correct this mark popped up on here recently me thinks. If not who's pottery mark is this, thanks.

Because of the shape I guess. Didn't she have a potteries at Gunwalloe, Penhalvean Pottery between St Stithians & Redruth and now at Newlyn. I know where I have seen this mark and name, it was a few weeks back on Facebook British Studio Pottery page. Had feeling it was a local pottery before posting here, just couldn't remember.

I take this is a Newlyn piece from the 00s, Cheers again NaomiM.

Ah, I usually only use the ‘mocha’ term for the dendritic decorative technique.

The Marks book lists this mark as 1981- starting at Gunwalloe Pottery, Lizard, Cornwall to date - although I’m not sure she’s still using a mark, and the book doesn’t list her more recent version of this mark which is more angular.
No mention in the book of her potting at Newlyn

Again, thanks for the info and dates.

I believe it's Debbie Prosser's early mark - a couple more examples on slipware plant pots . Looks like a W or 3

When I first saw this I initially believed it may have some age, but changed my mind upon seeing the base & incised mark, which I do not recognise. Any help with identifying the potter much appreciated, thank you.
