Just wondering if anyone recognises this great big lidded vase and matching charger, or their mark?

In spite of their rather florid continental appearance, they are hand-thrown stoneware, very modern, and I feel that they are British - but I haven't a clue who might have made them. Help!

Yes I'm sure you're right. Not potters that I've come across before. A great help! Many thanks.

Any ideas? Thanks for looking.

John & Judy Gibson. Courtyard Pottery (Derbyshire) Empty 2 jugs, same mark - John Gibson - Courtyard Pottery

Post by denbydump on July 10th 2014, 1:17 pm

Can't find this one anywhere. 2 completely different jugs, large pitcher seems to be tin-glazed
terracotta, and the smaller one seems to be salt-glazed porcelain. The round marks are Identical,
though the larger pitcher one is almost glazed over.

FS mark for Frank Smith, maybe? I know one of his FS monograms has the S the opposite way round.

Hi Naomi, not quite, as these are in a circle.
Hoping someone would get the clear CP underneath,
something pottery, maybe?

John Gibson - Courtyard Pottery for the porcelain jug I believe.

Decoration, clay and marks looks correct, but I not familiar with any earthenware he produced.

Thanks a lot potty. Neither mark exactly corresponds to the book, but I guess there
were other variations used over the years. No wonder I drew a blank.
Found this vase with a similarish mark, and the separated CP, so it must be that.
