Emmanuel Cooper
Not mine but asking for a friend called Geoffrey. I think it looks like porcelain but he's not too sure.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
Has he had it long?
The glazes are the same as Christine-Ann Richard's recent work...not that that will help.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
The 2nd mark remind me a lot of Emmanuel Cooper, I don't know much about his pots, but assume you'd have already ruled him out?

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
Thanks for your suggestions. The platter does look like Christine-Anne's work but not like Emmanuel Cooper's but the marks aren't right.
I've asked him to describe the mark on the right but no reply yet.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
Apologies to you Potty. Geoffrey thinks that the mark on the right is a rounded backed E so it looks like it is an Emmanuel Cooper piece, although not that recent. I just don't associate this type of glaze with him.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
So that probably dates it to c 1980.
It's 11 inches (28 cm) in diameter.

He did play around with glazes like this one, here are some of his glaze test samples:

Now you're getting all technical. Is that from one of his books?

To be honest I've never had any interest in his work and never bought a piece even to sell on so this is all new to me. Don't think I'll be converted.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
The marks are as Ed had mentioned, so c1980 when I think he made standard type forms as did most. His glaze trials where issued in his book "The Potters Book of Glaze Recipes". Potty shows a link which offers test tiles for the glaze I think somewhere amongst the red/whites. I think his work has a certain following and since he's now not with us prices for his work have rocketed!!.....so nice find.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
You are correct about prices of his work and him having a following.
One of my customers has a large collection, which I've seen, and there were a few bowls in the collection that impressed me. However, you know I like wood-fired pots so they're not really me.
I have advised Geoffrey accordingly.

Re: Emmanuel Cooper
This was on a teapot with the same yellow glaze, also attributed to Cooper
