Owen Thorpe, Churchstoke & Priestweston Pottery

is this Owen thorpe?

Yes it is and the decoration is distinctive as well so don't really need the marks.

Nice large jug with interesting decoration to shoulder, nice clear mark, Its one of those I thought I recognised from somewhere, but not the case









thanks

It's one of Owen Thorpe's marks - probably from the 1970s/1980s.

Just checked back to say I'd found this one as Priestweston Pottery 1975-81, Owen Thorpe, but you have already beaten me, thanks SP

Hi, I found these three jugs (looks like a milk jug and two creamers) in a thrift shop in Glasgow. I'm sure they aren't worth anything but I'd really like to identify them.
I have searched for literally weeks for the markings but have got nowhere.
Any help would be welcome.

I think the JH is John Harlow. CP may be Chedzoy Pottery. TO may be a colleague. Thomas Owen?

I think that they are from the Churchstoke Pottery in Powys and the OT is Owen Thorpe. I don't know who the JH is.

Thorpe was there from 1981 to 2000 but I think that the pottery might still be active.

I think these are from the early 1980s and, although Thorpe later worked alone, at that time he had an assistant.

Oops, yes, Owen Thorpe. He made/makes? similar jugs at Priestweston Pottery.

Moved to Priestweston, Shropshire in 1975 – to Churchstoke, Powys in 1980 and back to Priestweston in 2000

Many thanks for all your help. I have now searched for the JH in relation to the pottery and Owen Thorpe but can't find any further information. If I do locate the artist I will be back with the info.
Thanks again   

There's a contact email on Owen Thorpe's website, so worth asking him directly.

Doesn't seem to be a specific thread, so here goes.

Another CP mark. This one has 2 impressed marks , both look like CP but one looks joined at the top of the C - this is the one in the star shape - and one looks open on the C.
5” vase, brown and grey decoration and drips. Any ideas? I know there’s lots of CP marks. I don’t think this is old Colin Pearson.

Now I can see it as OT! But the outer shape is different to the one in Yates Owen . Anyway, well done!
