Re: Briglin Pottery
Bought at charity shop for £2 , but not sure if it's briglin , I personally don't think so as the chamfered edge base normally seen on B pottery aint there , so any ideas ?

Re: Briglin Pottery
Personally I think it's absolutely fine for Briglin and I'm fairly sure there's something in the Briglin book with the same glaze design - will double check for you Ed.
Re: Briglin Pottery
It is definitely not Rye Pottery but like TP I think that is could well be Briglin. It is not the usual dark terracotta and the edge isn't chamfered but they often forgot to mark their pieces and the style and decoration is very much Briglin. Can't be certain though.
Re: Briglin Pottery
I was basing my view on the colour of the clay, I know some of the earlier Briglin was made with a white clay but as you say SP, almost all is the dark Terracotta.

Re: Briglin Pottery
On page 69 of the Anthea Arnold Briglin book there are shown a few vases, planters and pots a couple of which are decorated with the same pattern as your vase Ed. The colour of the clay also looks fine to me for Briglin.
Re: Briglin Pottery
The later clay used by Briglin was a reddy terracotta colour - exactly what Ed's is - I'm not sure what colour you think it should be Davey? Other features on Ed's pot which also say Briglin - a) the design b) the fact that the base is infilled with the white glaze c) the 'rings' inside the vase d) very similar items in Anthea's book.
Re: Briglin Pottery
Actually, since I've sold a fair bit of Briglin over the years, I thought it might be helpful to highlight the variation in clay colour. I could probably show quite a few more however here are 2 different marked Briglin items where the clay colours are quite different. One is the reddy terracotta like Ed's vase above to the darker brown mentioned by Dave. Both pieces are 'right'.

Must be my monitor then!
I wasn't doubting your opinion Pip, I was just commenting on the fact that on my monitor it looks a lot lighter than Briglin usually does, even the ones you have posted later.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Poo - I've not seen them on BBC1 - but I've not been watching 100% - Looks like they did not make it - Odd as they are worth serious money.

Re: Briglin Pottery
I like this new 'moody' shooting - I copied it from and expensive website - does the forum have a photographic techniques section? I would like to know how to get rid of reflections - my light tent still gives reflections with outside lights?? :( x100
Anyway I digress - these two looked so good - reminds me of some 50's / 60's works by others. Anyone got more like this? BR Alex

Re: Briglin Pottery
The figures were on AR tonight. 2 missing from the set apparently. I should have paid more attention, I've forgotten who is missing and how much they were valued at.22 Crawford St. wrote:Poo - I've not seen them on BBC1 - but I've not been watching 100% - Looks like they did not make it - Odd as they are worth serious money.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Beat me to it Gareth but I think it was Maria Callas and John Gielgud that were missing.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Briglin Pottery was set up in 1948 and closed in 1990. I'm afraid I don't know when they introduced the owls.

Thank you Naomi, I guessed 70s 80s but I'm no expert.
I've always liked Owls so I bought it, it is very heavy for its size. Alan.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Very large mug. Unmarked and unusual decoration, but both the dealer and I thought it was Briglin. But maybe someone has an alternative suggestion.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Yes, it looks like Briglin to me. The impressed mark seems to have been forgotten on a higher percentage of pieces that originate from Briglin than elsewhere from my observations.
One question - is it stoneware rather than the more usual earthenware? If so, then I believe that it is most likely to have been made during the 1980s.

Um, good question. Not sure I know the answer. Might be stoneware.
You're going to laugh at this, but if there are old paint splashes on a piece of pottery then I estimate it's at least a generation old, and this has small paint splashes, so 1980s would fit.
NB. The base is very like this one:

Re: Briglin Pottery
It might be just the photographs but the one you have put the link to is a typical dark red earthenware that Briglin used during much of their production life. Your mug seems to be a lightish brown in colour, which looks to be similar to the fine stoneware that they used late on.
Not sure that it is of any great importance either way though.
