Re: David Lloyd Jones
David Lloyd Jones (1928-1994) is one of those select potters who produced work of the Leach school who did not work at the Leach pottery. He studied at the Guildford School of Art in the early 50's. mainly doing sculpture, but also doing some pottery under the tutelage of Helen Pincombe. It was through these lessons that he determined to be a potter.
However, he spent most of the next decade working in his Father-In-Law's Cinema in York. It was not until 1962 at the age of 34, that he felt financially secure enough to start potting full time. At his pottery in Fulford on the outskirts of York, he faced a steep learning curve in all the many intricacies of being a Studio potter. He mostly worked on his own producing a Bread and Butter range of domestic Ware that mostly paid the Bills, being very good, but nothing out of the ordinary. His work produced for exhibitions was of another quality again. His teapots in particular can be sublime, and his large Chargers are beautiful with their intricate decoration. It is this side of his work that still receives a lot of admiration.
His reputation grew, and he was elected a member of The Craft Potter's Association in the early 70's. He was a member of the CPA Council for several years, serving as Chairman in the early 1980's .
His earlier work is an impressed name. His later mark was a
LJ as below. This mark sometimes became in-filled, and if you have a lovely Leach school looking pot with a mark you cannot make out, it might well be his.![David Lloyd Jones Img_0245](https://i.servimg.com/u/f31/15/89/39/97/img_0245.jpg)

Re: David Lloyd Jones
Are you sure you mean David Lloyd Jones? It's not a mark I've seen before and it's not mentioned in the marks book

Yes indeedy. It's going back a fair few years, but the person who told me had a strong connection with the family. It stuck in my mind because I'd let some lovely pieces go for pennies.
The mark is very rarely seen.

Re: David Lloyd Jones
It's definitely the work of David Lloyd Jones.
It dates to the 1960's.
Ruth kindly responded a little while ago.
She doesn't just make fantastic pots, she's also a lovely person![:star2: 🌟](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f31f.png?v=2.2.7)

Re: David Lloyd Jones
Another new mark for the website Naomi ![:thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f44d.png?v=2.2.7)
I'm pasting part of the message below, it details another mark that I was unaware of and the other mark (similar to the one on this jug) that led to my very slight doubt with this jug being his.
1 FP (Fulford Pottery) from 1962
2 a slightly elongated version of yours sometime in the mid 60’s, sometimes double stamped with the FP
3 your mark - late 60’s
4 David
Lloyd
Jones
in a square block ( a metal stamp) early 70’s
5 finally just an LJ - onwards from around late 70’s/early 80’s

Here is a photo of what i believe to be mark number 2 from the above list.
I'm 99.9% certain that it is right and will confirm once I have received a response from Ruth.
