odds & sods

here's a better pic of the front

OK so here are the two plaques ...

there seems to be a Clappison influence but they were made in the 80's

I think that's wise,my plaque is carved a bit better than yours,Paul may have a point

edit

I know own the girl plaque too & can confirm they were both made by the same ceramic artist J H Matthews

Dan, i like this one a lot - did you manage to find out who it's by? reminds me a lot of Astra Ware by Minton Hollins

Yes,a member of the forum helped me out with this one,it was made by Derek Davis.
one of my best cheap buys ever

My first Alvingham piece,I love the quality of potting and decoration so it won't be on it's own for long

I bought this in the same lot as the Alvingham but it is unmarked?

edit

after a little research I am 75% sure this is also Alvingham pottery

after 3 years of owning this lovely pot I have tracked down the potter and of course he is in Cornwall.
Rob Fierek created it in 1977 whilst potting in Kegham,he and his wife now have a small studio pottery in Gunnislake.

his wife Rosie is no slouch either!!

I just bought 2 pieces on ebay,I was the only bidder?

the aforementioned pots, much better than I had expected, the dogs are as funny as a joke told during a tickling break in a laughing gas factory

Love this one, is it marked in anyway?

there is a partial stamp Davee, i think it is made of porcelain (the pot not the stamp)

this 4 inch tall,crystaline glazed pot with stoneware body is marked ULRICH,I need to research further as the name hasn't popped up yet...

A 15" studio piece , unmarked , a £5 capture from swinderby

unknown maker but lovely Ruskin/Cobridge type glaze

possible Robert Brumby piece? more research needed

Lake's pottery Truro Cornwall,the pottery influenced Bernard Leach & the great Bill Marshall

I think it was the other way round dan, bernard and his sons and marshall were greatly influenced by lake's pots, Mike Edwards bolingey pottery , also threw there .

A beautifuly glazed Devonmoor pot, these are often mistaken for Ruskin when unmarked

Yet another undescovered Cornish treasure

stoneware spoonrest made at the Simonsbath pottery

bought today for £1 ! quite crude, but charming blue glazed stoneware vase - reminded me a little of Song Dynasty Chinese wares ( i should be so lucky). didn't bother to put this in the ID Pottery thread as i don't think anyone else will have a clue either, so here it is in Odds & Sods
