no it's a first for me too

I was trying to explain how to non pot people that we can get excited about relatively ordinary things just because they are extremely uncommon rather than inherently better work. So for example DD would get excited if he found a piece of Denby in a new colourway (experimental?) and for the non collector this looks normal compared to a common piece...but .....for the connoisseur (an expert judge in matters of taste) it's exciting!

personally I tend to move on from the production stuff when the top man leaves a pottery, it happened with Poole pottery and with Celtic

I can see one off colourways and limited editions being more collectable in production pottery - Anita Harris, for example - but its a tricky thing when it's a studio potter who's known for a certain style of pot. If they try something experimental will it be less or more collectable than what they are better known for?

Celtic Pottery jug signed by Bill Fisher, it stands approx. 12 " high and is quite heavily potted.

I like the base, I'm just not a jug man. Not seen the like before, unusual and interesting for me.

by **dantheman** on September 8th 2017, 9:46 pm

I love jugs and have three similar ones but haven't seen that green tint to the glaze before

I've moved the mystery vase to the ID my Pottery forum -

Dan, only just seen your archer on horseback.
Love it! and never seen one before either.

an early Mousehole piece

by **22 Crawford St.** on January 28th 2018, 11:25 pm

I'm assuming this is late Celtic...

Is it a sugar bowl?

worth looking at the later pieces in the Celtic thread, I haven't looked at late Celtic for many years so it might match a piece that I forgot

could you take a pic with a white background so we can see the handles better please? I would like it in the Celtic thread

by **dantheman** on January 29th 2018, 4:03 pm

the nearest match found was a piece made at Mousehole after Bill had left

by **22 Crawford St.** on January 29th 2018, 8:12 pm

by **dantheman** on January 29th 2018, 8:40 pm

that's much better!
made by Bill or Maggie Fisher

by **22 Crawford St.** on January 29th 2018, 9:02 pm

You think? Why? ...and wot is it?

by **dantheman** on January 29th 2018, 9:11 pm

the handles and glaze match other verified pieces as does the base
I even found a goblet with the little decoration inside
Perhaps a soup bowl?

by **22 Crawford St.** on January 29th 2018, 9:30 pm

TY, Yes it's only 95mm dia (excluding handles) it's sugar bowl size.

by **dantheman** on January 29th 2018, 9:34 pm

sounds right

by **Celtic_Fan** on February 5th 2018, 5:07 pm

For what its worth.
I agree - clearly a Mousehole piece.

Nice find. Never seen a 2 handled sugar bowl before (if that's what it is).
The internal decoration isn't too uncommon and crops up on some items.

I see the archer has turned up again.
