Ian Godfrey was probably one of the most unique potters to come out of the Golden era of British Studio Pottery.
Friendly with both Lucie Rie and Hans Coper he is often regarded as one of that circle of that potters as close to and influenced by  Lucie Rie. She certainly admired his work. While having produced standard pots, he is mainly famed for his idiosyncratic forms slowly carved out of clay with a penknife. An unusual and interesting potter.




A stoneware chest of drawers. Surmounted by two detachable houses. Incised with reindeer, birds, turtles and fish. 20 cms high

Stoneware Fox Box. with carved fox heads and handles. The lid with donkeys ram and birds. 17 cms high.

A stoneware village sculpture with 5 houses of varying sizes, 7.5x7.5x7.5 cms

A stoneware Barrel pot carved with flowers surmounted by house, animal and tree, incised with circles. Glazed white

26 cm vase with carved bands of overlapping panels, the base with carved animals.

Antelope vase incised with foliate pattern. 26 cms high.

yes a good and interesting potter his prices are reasonably affordable at present, his more complex creations always seem to have some damage when they come to auction. He is not on my wish to buy list but i like his work.
