Love the blue glaze! :)

Emmbrook - Welcome... Anything signed by BA is unusual. Only a few a year pop up on ebay and they are always sought after. I can't quite tell from the images but it seems not deeply incised? Or is it written on the base? Perhaps it was done after biscuit firing? Certainly looks like thistle pattern, but in deep blue - perhaps she just had those glazes to had so she tried something new. They did a lot of that. Thistle was only from 1975 so some time after that. Love to see some more. Thanks for posting.

Thanks 22 Crawford St. I've been enjoying looking round your website.

You're right that the signature etc is not deeply incised, but it is incised rather than writtten. I'll post some other images when I get a moment of the two planters and some of the other pieces - some are designs that seem to come up quite often on eBay etc but others much less so.

Well one of the nice things about Briglin is that most of the time you can get replacements for sets you have broken. Especially the 70s stuff.

Nice Item, Could it be another "Brush pot" 22?
It seems a little small for a planter.

by **22 Crawford St.** on June 5th 2017, 11:15 pm

Yes crossed my mind DD

Planters typically have a hole in the base and a shallow pot to stand on that way excessive watering can get out.

by emmbrook on June 5th 2017, 11:19 pm

I'll post photos tomorrow but the other two 'planters' I have (certainly they are the right size) don't have holes in the bottom either. But you could of course be right! Either way I'm very pleased to have it.

This is the two thistle 'planters' side by side.

A hopefully better shot of the signature:

This is a rather nice little dragonfly pot, about 3.5" high - it's not that well made as the top is not a perfect circle but I think this adds a bit of charm. Impressed Briglin on the base.

And here's one of the vases that my father purchased from Briglin - measures about 7.5". Impressed Briglin England.

Nice bits EB, we herald another Briglin Junkie!

by **22 Crawford St.** on June 6th 2017, 10:06 pm

Yes looks like she scratched after the pot had dried rather that in wet clay. Very probably that both pots are by BA. Yes they are not normal pieces, good quality

Finally unpacked all my recent acquisitions and got all my Briglin in one place - needs spreading out but here is (most of) my modest collection....

and some detail:

by **22 Crawford St.** on July 10th 2017, 11:12 pm

Someone's been busy. You have a dozen+ very interesting pieces there. Biggest collection I've seen in a while. Thanks for posting. I would shuffle out the brown standardware such as the two jam pots (not my favorite) all except that sunflower cruet set which is cute. I'm not a big fan of the standardware they did make it en masse. You have a good mix but no animals and no 50's except the texture vases (far right) which are late 50s early 60s - do any have the blue ink mark (round) under the glaze? That black and white vase centre back is a new shape to me, interesting - they sell very well - where did you find that one? If you need any dates confirmed then PM me.

by emmbrook on July 22nd 2017, 8:17 pm

Hi Crawford Street, sorry for the slow reply - the black and white vase came from Etsy a couple of months back - I love it, nice shape and texture to it. I'm looking for more of the black vases but they seem thin on the ground.

The texture vases I don't see any immediately obvious blue ink but will check more carefully when I have a moment.

I purchased some job lots of studio pottery today at auction, several dozen pots etc - lots of Briglin (mostly standardware but a few interesting bits incl some animals) plus Alvingham and Hornsea and some Denby - still in boxes but will post the more interesting bits here once sorted out.

by **22 Crawford St.** on August 2nd 2017, 8:51 pm

Err something went wrong . my request got moved not the images from that ID post? ?

Poorly

by **22 Crawford St.** on August 2nd 2017, 8:55 pm

Ok a flat bottomed tall wavy vase dating to the 60s - I've not seen this before. Never say never. Can't remember anything that wasn't footed except miniatures. Except this one Pondering

by **denbydump** on August 8th 2017, 2:44 pm

A tiny 3.5 in pin dish

by **lindylou08** on August 24th 2017, 1:25 pm

Any idea of pattern name and when approx it would have been made. Standardware? TIA

by **22 Crawford St.** on August 24th 2017, 5:16 pm

Lindy are you asking about DDs pin dish or did your photo not work?

by **lindylou08** on August 24th 2017, 5:30 pm

Sorry. Sometimes have probs loading images on phone. I'll have another go

Voila!

by **22 Crawford St.** on August 24th 2017, 5:38 pm

yes mid 70s standard ware pedestal cup, was almost certainly part of a tea set. Sorry don't know the name of that one.

by **lindylou08** on August 24th 2017, 5:57 pm

Thanks a lot

by DAVID24/5 on October 18th 2017, 9:10 am

Can anyone confirm these miniatures are Briglin? I'm pretty sure they are, they were found together, though none of them are marked. Tallest one measures 2.25" tall.

by **22 Crawford St.** on October 18th 2017, 1:51 pm

by **NaomiM** on October 18th 2017, 5:36 pm

Very nice

by DAVID24/5 on October 18th 2017, 6:44 pm

Thank you. Is it usual for Briglin miniatures to be unmarked?
