1905 by-election bowl

Here's a bit of an oddity - a bowl commemorating the 1905 Appleby by-election. Sadly, it's unmarked but my immediate thought was Claypits / Ewenny because of the dark clay and mottled blue glaze. I would have thought that it made more sense to commission a more local pottery but my knowledge of country potteries of the North at the turn of the twentieth century is a bit sketchy. Any thoughts, please?

Could be Ewenny, or possibly Brannam / Baron Barnstaple

The winner certainly had Welsh connections.

But the election was for a seat in Cumbria which points to a Scottish Pottery

Unusual for the decoration to be under the base whoever did it.

How about nearby Cumnock?

The Welsh connection is pretty good, isn't it, and the very dark clay certainly looks like Ewenny / Claypits. The proximity of Cumnock and the fact that they mainly produced motto pieces is also a strong consideration.

So what do I do with it now - eBay or an auction that has a political memorabilia sale?

Tricky one. List it as motto ware or date-lined- or studio pottery?

It's not a glaze I have seen on any of the Barnstable potteries although the script is similar to some I have seen on baron Barnstable. But taking it for what it is then it must have been made close to Appleby. I can't imagine it was made 281 miles away by Ewenny in Bridgend or any of the southern potteries. A country made bit of political history, probably made in very low numbers straight after the win.

But if it was my item I would ask these people below to see if any potteries existed in the town back then. Could give you a name.
