Celtic pottery (Newlyn & Mousehole)

Thanks again. If the family decide not to keep I'll have to find it a worthy home.

Picked up this lovely piece yesterday at the Norfolk fayre. Not signed but easily identified as Bill and Maggie Fisher. I am wondering if this is an earlier piece it is glazed very nicely in almost a lustre glaze and it is a lot thinner and lighter than other pieces I have come accross.

Many thanks Dan much appreciated.

X4 TILES

Sacrilege Dan, no one ever tiles with them they are bits of Art just for contemplation, or perhaps standing a tea pot on

For the records a photo of my monitor - went last year for a bullseye each. From the date on my tiles these date to the early 70s, I'm assuming they were not a good seller so not many about.

An 8 inch Tray with bull design.

I did spot him, he had a nick but supa reasonable price. Not seen one before

A bell! What on earth, never seen that before then my have only made a couple!

Bought them together rather other day.
Is there a reason why middle one has no flat base. Is it just different moulding?

For me it's just how they decided to trim out of the mould. If you watch this video then you will see him doing it to a small cat. I'm assuming it was the same plaster mould techniques at Celtic?

It's also white earthenware. I wonder if it's suited to casting. There are also some interesting bits like I did not know they stick bits back on!

Thanks Crawford, it’s really good to see how moulded pieces are made on a small scale. I never knew you had to pour the liquid slip out so pieces are hollow. I get the process so much more now.

And I can see how the trimming part works and maybe how that could change the base of the cats.

He does have a very distinctive style

One of the best I've seen in a long time.
