Annegret Ehlers

Small jug that I bought years ago. I liked the style of its decoration. I would appreciate any information on the maker please, many thanks

By Annegret Ehlers, although the mark is sometimes attributed to her father, Alfred but the pieces look like '50s which was after his time.

Thank you so much for your informative response. I have spent many hours trying to decipher the mark without success before contacting you, many many thanks

Always tricky when it’s under the glaze

I’m not sure the lid goes with the cup and saucer but they were sold as a set

The pottery was at Lowerdown Cross near Bovey Tracey and was bought by David Leach in 1955 when he left St. Ives for good. It was where David remained until his death.

I never knew that.

I thought it might be the case because of where the Ehlers pottery was but I did ask David when I visited him once and he confirmed that he had bought it from the family.
