Camelot Boscastle Pottery dish
Hi, sharing a piece of Boscastle or Camelot pottery..
I am unsure of it's use. One of those little dishes for use about the house. Keys, loose change, olives, ring dish??
It did take me a little time to ID it, Because of a miss strike. There is a circular disc decorated with oak leaves and the words The National Trust
Size 12cm. diameter

Beautiful pot only 6.5 cm tall.
I'm not sure if it's RI or RL stamped on the base....or is it a P?

Looks like Boscastle mochaware Pottery set up by Roger Irvine Little In 1956, so most likely by one of his children or grandchildren.

TIL is his son Timothy Irving Little. The style is a version of Mochaware which was popular in Victorian times.

That looks like it says Boscastle Pottery in the round stamp.
MMXVII would be 2017!

Its Mocha Ware made at Boscastle pottery in Cornwall since 1962, Made by a father and son team Roger and Tim Irving Little. The calligraphy reads Irving. They used a pottery a stamp as well. I cannot quite make out the writing on the stamp. But the one they used 1962-85 had CAMELOT BOSCASTLE POTTERY while the one used from 1985 0nwards had BOSCASTLE IRVING LITTLE POTTERY on it.

That stamp says Irving Little around the inner circle, Boscastle Pottery around the outer.

That would make it the 1985 onwards mark.

I can actually hear the exasperation in your voice there, carolalev. I promise that I wasn't talking past you, just deciphering the words on the inner circle of the stamp.

I didn't think you were talking past me GG, and not really exasperated. Just very pleased that all the evidence adds up and does not contradict.

Indeed yes my dear Watson.
According to Google the pottery is still a going concern. Or at least was, until Covid hit us.
Anyways, that would fit into the 2017 date as well.

I visited the pottery last month - still going strong and Mr Irving Little Senior is still actively involved.
Mrs Irving Little mentioned during our conversation that they switched over to white clay in 2000, so thought I'd add that information here as it's a useful way of working out if an undated piece is 20th or 21st Century.
