Re: Celtic (Newlyn & Mousehole)
oops - it's not a coffin is it, it's square. This looks a similar size to those 3 which have been on ebay at various times - but obviously slightly different at the top.

Re: Celtic (Newlyn & Mousehole)
OK, here are a few of mine.
Lion



Different birds


Frog

Mouslehole mug - recognise the handle !!

Lidded Jar

Sea Horse - Look closely and you will see it's hasn't had final glaze/firing. It is course not glaze smooth and the colours have not been 'brought out' by the firing. I'm not sure why, but another 'un-glazed' to follow.

'un-glazed/fired' fish

Has anyone else got any of these 'un-glazed' ones ??
And finally (for now), a large triangle dish, which has 3 'stud' feet on the base.

Steam trawler tankard

fairly unusual to find a tankard with the trawler decoration and lucky that the seller couldn't tell the difference between a glaze miss and a frit! so I got it cheap

I assume that this is Celtic Phoenix, is there an obvious way of dating this piece

Yeh, I know. Just saying - a bigger vase was produced at Newlyn.dantheman wrote:Bill left before Newlyn?
But I agree, it the biggest I've seen which can be attributed to Bill.

Re: Celtic (Newlyn & Mousehole)
Agreed, Jilly that's a really nice Bull. Several of the earlier ones seem to be this much darker 'solid' yellow.
Dan - I remember that jug, but can't remember whether you outbid me, or if there was a reason I didn't bid on it - maybe that was one of those items I just forgot about until it was too late - which seems to happen too often these days
Always nice to have a signed piece

it looks great displayed with 2 other 'Fisher' jugs

Re: Celtic (Newlyn & Mousehole)
So did I.
This is some of the best news I've heard in a long time.
Perhaps some of the many questions may finally get answered
I can't wait
