I got this bowl today,the foot has a hole in it for wall mounting and someone has cleverly put an eyed split pin through that hole. I have screwed a hook into the underside of a shelf and hung the bowl which allows lots of movement the light then catches the colours in lots of different ways plus it also gives the illusion that the butterfly is airborne.

Nice collection of the old lead glazes here.

This looks like it may have been made by a learner

Way off!! Take a look at style and form.... especially over time.

Frank didn't make proto-types... might be a second ... might have been sold because some punter wanted it unglazed.

No stamp, but looks right to me (what do I know ).
I'm guessing no one else spotted it, as mine was the only bid so I got it £20, which I'm happy with and certainly less than you usually see them for.

Made by Frank S. / Hazel decorated them.

Do you think the initials are Joyce Morgan's?

Decidedly.

It's made from the same red pottery as the plate, and has the same 'soft focus' decoration.
There's a decorator's name or initials on the front - which I think says Jon or Jan - but unlike the plate there's no 'chelsea pottery England' inscribed by hand on the back. (The makers mark was probably on the missing base).
I found it in a local charity shop a few years ago.

This is Joyce's.

thank you Audrey, the info is a huge help

by **NaomiM** on September 12th 2013, 8:29 pm

Good stuff Most Excellent

Btw, was there any link between Chelsea Pottery and Guernsey Pottery? Some items seem to have similar glaze and decoration.

i've liked it... interesting signature...
looked through the whole thread and think it might be "AD" for Audrey Durnan?

it's very hard to find british pottery here in germany...
just tons of ugly wgp
(most of it that ugly that not even the brits would buy it) Naughty

Wish we had a better list of signatures, like the Aldermaston one. I like that one styleinvasion. Is it thin and lightly thrown?

The Naomi cover piece that AJD01 say is by JM is the same as my candlesticks. Very similar style and glazes.

by **styleinvasion** on April 3rd 2014, 7:35 am

yes it's very thin and lightly thrown

by **22 Crawford St.** on April 4th 2014, 9:30 pm

Someone delighted in throwing those dishes wafer thin, I have some. Was it Joyce? Certainly and experienced thrower. I don't know how Chelsea worked - did someone churn out blanks and others decorate?

I couldn't resist the face on this golfer,I'm sure I've met this guy in the flesh !

by **bistoboy** on April 22nd 2014, 6:03 pm

Whilst this dish is not marked on the back, i feel fairly confident putting it straight here instead of the 'id' thread. Mods, please move if you feel necessary.

Haven't got a clue to the artist or even what animal this is! Shrugs

by **dantheman** on April 22nd 2014, 6:58 pm

looks like a very unusual design I seem to remember the cat (leopardus) is from South America

by **dantheman** on April 22nd 2014, 7:07 pm

but with a wolf face Laughter

by **studio-pots** on April 23rd 2014, 7:52 pm

I took an image of the large dish below on my phone some time ago, saying that I would see if I could find out the artist who decorated it.

by **dantheman** on April 23rd 2014, 9:31 pm

Joyce Morgan I think

Thanks for that and it looks similar - now all I have to do is remember who owns the fish dish. Shrugs

by **vanmann** on September 19th 2014, 2:06 pm

Any ideas please on this bowl,marked Chelsea UK and signed on front mT. Is this actually Chelsea Pottery? and does anybody recognise initials, thanks

by **denbydump** on September 19th 2014, 3:05 pm

Yes it is Chelsea, but MT doesn't tally with anyone on the list of decorators I have.
I think there are quite a few unrecorded ones.
