Eric Golding, Branscombe Pottery

Any Ideas! My pot stands some 9 1/2 inches high by 3 5/8 inches across the base.  It has what I believe to be a speckled celadon glazed body and is very well decorated in a matte red/rust.   There are two impressed marks to the base, the first looks like a lower case b with a dot above it , or it could perps be a small D in a circular impression.  The second impressed mark is square and looks like an E or a G with a line through it.  I would be most grateful for some ideas. Regards,  stillscurrying

thanks guys :)

Yes I think it is. There was a vase posted a couple of months back with the same marks. Thanks Naomi

Not sure where to start with this 7 inch vase.
First mark is ??
Second mark looks like b with a dot.

The photos are of a teapot I recently purchased. I've found a very similar teapot in an archive for sale on ebay which attributes the pot to Paul Barron.  I have also seen a picture online of a dish attributed to Paul Barron with an identical mark.  However, I don't believe this teapot is by Barron - can anyone please shed any light?

I wouldn't think it was by Paul Barron, as I am not aware of him using a dot before the B of his mark. Besides that I can't think of any reason to add the dot after using a B only. Barron's B seal is also quite small when compared to your average seal and I think this looks average size.

Can't suggest who it might be.

I think that is unlikely and the overlapping of the vertical by the top and the bottom round parts of the B are not like Barron's mark.

Thanks for your help so far. The URL above takes you to the ebay-archived dish also attributed to Paul Barron. As you'll see it has an identical mark to my teapot (with dot).

I can't seem to find any contact details for the Branscombe Pottery but their B looks subtely different (without a dot)?

Thanks again all.

Sorry, I was on a work computer system which is quite restrictive. The URL doesn't work because I had to put spaces between the www as the forum won't allow me to post a link within the first week.

I agree that the worthpoint/eBay attribution is no guarantee, I just thought it was interesting that a totally different item with an identical mark had also been attributed to Barron?

I'll upload the photos properly when I get home tonight.
