Re: Powell and Llangollen Studio Pottery (Wales)
Anyone know why they made cockerel as per the top of the page? It's a form from Portugal.
If you check out the Nandos logo it includes the same cockerel (Nandos started in Portugal) and it's a symbol of the Barecelos region of Portugal. It's from a fable Rooster of Barcelos

Re: Powell and Llangollen Studio Pottery (Wales)
I don’t think it’s that close a match. The similarities are just that they’re cockerels with piped slipware. But the Portuguese cockerels are a bit more showy; like they’re displaying their feathers during courting. While the Llangollen one looks like it’s stretched up to crow.

Beautiful glaze on this 5 inches high Llangollen pot. It looks like it should taste of chocolate limes.

Slip Trail Pottery Fish Mug - RP mark - Powell Pottery
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone knew anything about this style/potter as I have never come across it before and it caught my eye. I think it is marked RP on the base but any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

I think it’s Powell Pottery; early Llangollen Pottery. RP for Rhys Powell, decorated by his wife Jean in the early 60s

Llangollen, but who made it?
Have only recently pulled this out of storage. What a pleasant surprise.
Quite a striking design. Would like to know who the potter was and the era it was made.
Thanks,
Tim.

I think it's from the 60s.
Una Dyer and Clare Richards (nee Littleboy) took over the pottery from the Powells in the late 50s and continued into the late 60s before it was taken over by Lloyd Thomas and switched to slip moulded pieces.

LLANGOLLEN Studio Pottery Tube Lined Pony EISTEDDFOD RHYL 1953
Here i have a small tube lined white clay studio pottery pony looking very tired :) It has a lovely tactile feel
and base is marked for the Rhyl Eisteddfod 1953 not sure if it may have been given as a prize or maybe sold on stalls at
the event itself, I would love to hear any views as to the make and why it was produced thanks for looking..
