Elizabeth Saunders

Hi everyone - my first request for an ID is for a potter I collected during the early 1990s in Northants. The bird spout jug came from an exhibition at Northampton's Central Museum but I lost the details and the mark was obscured by glaze. I've since collected more of her work with clear marks so think it's time I found out who she (or possibly he) is. Does anyone recognise the work? All stoneware and all in these distinctive polychrome glazes. Many thanks.

Jim Bassett has kindly emailed me back with the following
"I think your pot may have been made by an ex guild member Liz Saunders, but I don't recognise/remember the mark!
I have passed on your enquiry to John Mathieson and Deborah Hopson-Wolpe who were my contemopary Guild members. I think Liz left the Guild and maybe potting with serious arthritis."

The name sounds right to me but hey, it was nearly 20 years ago!

Shape looks like Dartington but doesn't quite seem right.  There is a faint impressed mark where the handle joins the main body.  Bottom is unglazed and unmarked.  Any help appreciated.

a lovely single handled lidded multi coloured pot. Has a stamp of what looks to be an E with two dots. Looking for help with the maker please.

I have a seen a few pieces wit this glaze and colour but can't find the maker. Either an E with two dots or an M with two dots.

The pot doesn’t look anything like her work. Any clues?

The base and clay look the same. Potters don’t always stick to the same thing over the years

Have tried to find contact details for her to ask but can’t find anything. Does anyone know if she is contactable?

One of the guild members might be able to help

Jug an explosion of colour (reminds me a little of dartington - but it’s not)
Any ideas???






Its a cracker

How on earth do you do it N?...

Lovely glaze, right up my street. Wonder if she has any connection with Samuel Saunders from the IOW pottery.
