Group of 5 small studio bowls, CL mark - Cicely Lushington
Dear Forum,
Group of 5 bowls of various sizes, shapes and finishes all bearing "CL" as an incised mark which i cannot ID
All pots are well formed, nicely glazed and as they seem to have been made by the same hand there is a strand visually speaking through them
all.
Will post each bowl seperately and would appreciate any info
Thanks in advance!

Height 6 cm
Diameter 17cm

Tbh, they look like student pieces to me. In my experience, when job lots like this come up for sale at auction or in charity shops it's because a student or hobby potter is having a clear out.

Appear to all be by Cicely Lushington circa 1950s. She was a respected ornithologist writing about the birds of Sri Lanka and also modelled birds. These studio pieces may have been made upon her return to the U.K. Her makers mark is noted on BISPM.

Interesting information. The lovely thing about studio pottery is that you can still pick up lovely hand made pieces for small money. On t'other hand, you can end up with a houseful of it! Equally, the chances of picking up anything of much value are diminishing as the years go by.

Thanks Philpot. Agree totally. I may be the only collector of Cicely Lushington who knows but I find her work charming!

Several job lots of her birds have appeared at auction. I’m assuming she recently passed away

Kick Google confirms recent auctioning of bird figurines along with the sale of her archives for £5,400.00
She apparently passed in 1987

By the way I also own a number of pieces incised with word “Lushington” in a similar style to the above. Assume they are also works by Cicely.
