Briglin Pottery

Thanks for all of your help - I think this could be the 1st Briglin in my collection...

Very nice

6 miniatures from local centre today. None marked.

*jealous*

There were three or four Rye Pottery miniatures in Sawbbridgeworth, but out of my price range. Still kicking myself for leaving them

Can you please post a base and another of the stubby one 2nd from the left?

Briglin 'Onion' Lamp Base.

nice

A most unusual stoneware cylinder vase 8in high.
It almost looks unfinished.
The clay is quite a rough stoneware, similar to Denby.

The only stoneware I've seen is the ashtrays. Must be another one of those "why don't I make some..." that pop up every now and then. It will be 60s. Unusual, interesting.

Hi guys and gurls! I like the more strange items in life so this one caught my eye. Its been part glazed and then has had some flower petals cut into the unglazed part of the vase I think!
I can see no obvious mark but as its such a distinctive style I wonder if it can be recognized.

They had a big order for EIIR coronation ashtrays an went with a slip mould to make the large run. Seems that afterwards ever the spendthrift they kept using the moulds and produced a range of animal ashtrays, so it's early-mid 50s -

Is it bigger than the little ashtrays?

Maybe espresso saucer sized. It was over priced so I left it, but it didn’t strike me as slipcast. Their usual wheelthrown brown clay.

Yes if bigger then not cast but same series of animal dishes/saucer/ashtrays - same period

A lot of work's gone into this little 3 inch pot.

Oh nice find DD. They are sixties very well made kitchen jars. Made by the senior potters not the apprentices so quality is very high. They come in this small size (spice) and much bigger (pint size). Really an exercise in texture and pattern never seen two the same, always black white and very tactile in the hand. Alan Pett sent me a nice photo - he has a better collection than me.

Great, thanks for the info. Never seen the larger size.

...would post but which box is it in?

The one they football with in the depot!

Two more fine tall vases. IMO this is the stuff to collect....

Found this pair of Briglin studio-type vases today.

So not seen any of these for a lloooooonnng time. Just not out there so you could call these uncommon. On white clay, they are part of the eclectic early production before they settled on the wax resist/sgraffito combination on red earthenware technique.

bought today and containing pre-decimal money £££££
