The "troika England" mark was used from 1970 to 83.
Honor Curtis joined Troika from school in 1966 to 74. She returned
to Troika in 1975 working from home.

RB = Roland Bence 1965-68, 1970-81 Pottery Manager.
Which fits with the post 1970 date.

On closer investigation I think it's PB - there's a tail on the B making the P look like an R. In which case it would be Penny Black 1960s-76

This is as far as I know unique due to it's size which is eleven and a quarter inches diameter. I could be wrong but I believe the usual size for the chargers was approx 9 - 9 1/2 inches diam.

not really into Troika, but i really like this Wallis inspired plaque

Thanks! Was he the old boy from Cornwall who used to paint on cardboard etc? I'm sure I saw a programme once where a similar pic as the plaque was painted on a wooden board.

You have some wonderful pieces. Happy


What's the story behind this piece? It's unlike any Troika that I've seen before.

Hi truk10,
There were five Troika bowls of fruit produced and this one was the first. The marking T.J.1 means 'Troika/ Julian Greenwood-Penny/ Ist one produced. I believe Don Fowler was also involved with the production of these.
Leslie Illsley originally experimented with casting ceramic apples from moulds taken from real fruit, he sent four single white apples set into a square dish to the Beatles 'Apple Corps Ltd as he was a big Beatles fan but never heard back from them. He then dismissed the idea.
It is believed Don Fowler who joined Troika in 1976 then ressurected the idea and experimented using bananas as well as apples.
This bowl of fruit was originally Julian Greenwood penny's.

I purchased this on a hunch as wasn't sure if it was Troika but I think it is and may have been a trial piece although has the backstamp.
