Lester Fudge - F mark and three dots

Stoneware pot with nice brushwork, three dots and f, never found
anything close to this one.

I also enearthed a goblet, both bits very well made, wonder if it could be a known
pottery that has changed it's mark?

Can any of you good forum folk kindly help me with this teapot and mark thanks. I have seen it somewhere before on pottery related sites, but can't remember what site I visited. Thanks.

Found this the other day - bearded man plaque with incised Lester Fudge on reverse

I am amazed to see this again. I last saw it in 1980 or 1981.
Lester Fudge was a potter who ran the Wheal Martyn Pottery in Cornwall for a number of years. In 1980 or 1981 (I can't remember the exact date) he shared an exhibition with the artist Samuel Dodwell in Amsterdam (entitled "Kunst uit Cornwall). Around this time he had been experimenting with porcelain plagues, and made at least two for Sam Dodwell to decorate. I witnessed this one being decorated (in a back room at the Mid Cornwall Gallery). You therefore have a plaque made by Lester Fudge with a self-portrait by Sam Dodwell - a very rare piece indeed! The occasion was the opening night of an exhibition where both were exhibiting. Also present was another artist, Fred Yates, and Sam invited him to "have a go" with a second plaque, which is currently on sale on ebay for over £400.
