Chelsea Pottery (London)

7” wall hanging bowl.
1960s or 1970s look. Brown glaze on back looks like Chelsea perhaps. Or Guernsey?
Plate has initials on front - SC or CS perhaps or a CG or GC.
Thank you.

Thank you, Naomi

Nah! They just copied a Scandi design

From the Chelsea thread, it looks like it is by Christina Sheppard.

Just seen the similar ones on the thread - Lovely! Thank you for helping

I think your first guess is correct, the signature, style, glaze and clay colour all add up to Joyce imo

what is inscribed in the base?

Both the signatures (side and base) are JEM

I think the group might find this piece interesting - It's a Chelsea Rawnsley piece from the Bahamas Studio, dated 1960. I've owned it for many years and it hangs in my kitchen.

Removed double-post.
Most interesting, and beautifully decorated.
I would be tempted to remove the awful wire hanger and use a plastic one,
they can cause damage.

you certainly have a talent for rooting out the rare designs

Interesting. Nice thing. I think that the DR signature matches the writing on the base of my Angelfish dish (bottom page 4). So it could well also well be by David.

I'll keep an open mind but the ea and the p look right.

Thanks.

EDIT I would also remove the nasty wire hanger. It looks like some medieval torture device for plates.

Well, page 4 was very interesting, not only for the early pieces and the fish plates but also to see a post or two by Audrey Durnan!

I contacted Ms. Durnan about 10 years ago, as at the time I'd been given a large "Durnan Pottery" fish platter for a birthday present.  

After her time with Chelsea, Audrey Durnan emigrated to British Columbia, Canada and set up a pottery studio at Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, producing wares very much in the spirit of Chelsea.

The platter I have is a fairly major piece of her Shawnigan Lake work, measuring 11" x 15" - and - as you can see, very "Chelsea" looking.

I've realised I never got around to showing the collection I built up after my first Barrister.
It's been several years since I last added any. But here's most of my collection.
I'll gradually add individual pic's over time.

I bought all 3 un-glazed figures from the same dealer at a fair.
