Marazion Pottery (Cornwall) Empty Marazion Pottery (Cornwall)

Post by NaomiM July 27th 2013, 6:57 pm

Started in 1950 by George Nash and his wife Heather in the village of Marazion, Cornwall. Continued until their retirement in 1981.

The black glaze and sgraffito pattern on this vase is typical of their work.
Signed Marazion Cornwall on the base.

Thanks.

Marazion Pottery (Cornwall) Empty Two Small Pin Dishes - Marazion, Cornwall

Post by stardust* September 9th 2016, 12:46 pm

I have 2 pin dishes which belonged to a grandparent. There were 3 but unfortunately we're down to just the 2, and one of those is chipped (they are quite delicate)
I've been wondering about them, I've done a bit of research but could quite easily be missing the obvious. Does anyone recognise them?

Marazion Pottery (Cornwall) Empty When is a Marazion bowl not a Marazion bowl?

Post by Essenjay April 25th 2017, 9:34 pm

Bit of an oddity, this. I would have put money on it being a piece of Marazion when I picked it up so didn't bother looking under the 20p label underneath. The matt black-brown glaze looks right as does the vermillion and green of the decoration. Just the raised detail of the motif looks slightly unusual, almost tube-lined. Turns out that there are inscribed initials which might be CK / CR / GK / GR / YK / YR. Anyone know if Marazion was taken over by anyone following the retirement of George and Heather Nash in 1981? Or any other suggestions?

Looks like GR monogram. Certainly looks like Marazion but I've only seen them signed or with an ink stamp. Run by George Nash and his wife Heather

There are some Marazion pieces signed  "HM Beck", which  would imply that other potters worked there, as well as the Nashes.

Post by NaomiM April 26th 2017, 1:09 am

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Becks from Australia...

Robert & Margot Beck
Robert Beck (1942- ), the second son of Henry Hatton Beck and Lucy Beck (nee Boyd), started potting in the mid 1960s with his parents at Murrumbeena, incising his work 'R Beck' or "Beck' . When his parents went to England in 1966, he helped them to establish a pottery in Wandsworth Common for four years. He married Margot (1948- ) in 1970 and in 1971, they set up a pottery in Beaumaris, Melbourne, where his parents had returned to live. The two couples worked closely together over this period, making a range of decorated wares. In 1978 Robert and Margot moved to Cheltenham. As a couple, they painted or incised their work 'R + M Beck'. Margot also incised work she had hand-decorated 'Margot' or 'MB'.

Thanks both. My guess is that it was made at Marazion either by a guest potter. I suspect it'll be one of those occasions where we never find out.

Marazion Pottery (Cornwall) Empty Little Cylinder Vase slight Sgraffito by Marazion Pottery, Cornwall

Post by RVsaid December 8th 2021, 11:38 am

Hi

I quite like this little piece myself.

About 3.5 inches tall with gloss interior and then matte main exterio glaze, slight Sgraffito work in the design finished with gloss on the tree blosssoms.

I thought it probably said Majorca but now perhaps Nigeria... or neither :0)

Thanks
