Early earthenware studio teapot

It would help if we could define the 'early'. What age are the pieces that are marked? The decoration on the plates for instance in not anything much like early St Ives or Cardew/Finch Winchcombe would have done.

Oh! Chris Harries Coldstone Pottery in Oxfordshire springs to mind immediately. They did this type of feathered decoration and actually had John Shelly as a thrower. Dieter Kuntzman, Gordon Plahn, and Muriel Tudor Jones (Campden Pottery) worked there, and they all did earthenware in various potteries of their own.Other potters worked there as well. 1953-69 in Ascott-under-Wychwood (what a Gorgeous place name!) Oxfordshire

Oh, I thought they were all by the same pottery. It’s best just to upload the photos of the item for ID otherwise it gets confusing. You can add links to other threads that the other items are posted on, or use the EBay bargains etc thread in the Lounge for a group shot.

The clay and glaze reminds me of 1950s pots by David Leach. Knob shape can be quite distinctive; each potter have his/her way of forming them and their preferred size. The teapot looks classically formed so could be by someone who was originally apprenticed at one of the great Potteries - St Ives, Winchcombe, Wenford Bridge....
There may originally have been a stamp where the divot is on the base.

A left of field guess.What about Mary Gibson Horrocks? She worked at both the Leach and Wenford Bridge potteries. In 1953 she went to work at Bovey Tracey with Alfred Elhus and worked there until the pottery was sold to David Leach a couple of years later. She then went to teach the monks at Buckfast Abbey, and started her long career there. Would be local to you and it does fit the Leach/Cardew style.
