This was on my watchlist - your photo looks much better than on EB - great movement like snakes in sack.

It's nice jug but the seller was clueless. Box was too small for the jug. If it had been earthenware it would have been crushed.

A pretty tea-bowl, with a tiny impressed mark on the foot-rim.

I love this design . He's not doing it these days, although he did do a few all red ones when I showed him a photo of one of his early jugs in the pattern at Farnham last year

Spotted a large plate by Robert Goldsmith, presumably of Selborne village

very unusual

Maybe made for a local event. I left it because I didn't think it would be very popular outside the village.

I thought at first that this may have been Russell Gibbs but on closer inspection the mark is definitely a PG not RG.

Picked this up today as i was attracted by the fine glaze and colour combinations, marked RG...but who is RG...?

Maybe just a hobby potter but it seemed too fine to my eyes!

Any ideas?

All comments appreciated...!

Style and initials say it is definitely Robert Goldsmith Selborne pottery

by merlin on April 22nd 2018, 9:15 pm

Thank you Philpot and Dantheman!

I had looked at Robert Goldsmiths work [because it looked so similar] but only found 'stamped' markings and not inscribed initials as in this piece.

Thanks again...!

Not all marks are set in stone. so to speak! Potters who make a living solely on their work, have to produce a lot of it. So the marker is occasionally not to hand, they forget etc.
