just goes to show one shouldn't believe everything one reads on the internet.
Not even here on the forum!

but my fish is not exactly right for either:happy5:

Tremaen is the closest I can think of.

9" High , Many Lamp Bases had designs named after cornish place names ,this one is "Zennor"

The designs are shown here on this excellent website.

Some more pebble vases

Large Hieroglyphics lamp base and Tremaen Sticker.  Great design from Peter Ellery who started his first pottery in Marazion in 1965, before moving to Newlyn in 1967.

Two Peter Ellery designed lamp Bases 27cm High Boscawen decor .

Hi
I've seen this large stoneware lampbase (over 12inches high). I didn't attempt to check for a mark.
 As it was in a fairly awkward position I was reluctant to turn it over to check for mark.  Knowing my luck I would have dropped it decimating everything around it. I did manage to feel underneath - it is hollow and base is covered in felt.
I'm hoping someone will recognise the potter from the design/ decoration.



TIA

Thanks Davee, that's great

Very very nice, I love this type of work

If that price label reads £259, leave well alone, you can pick Tremaen up much much cheaper than that.

It wasn't anywhere near,  in fact it was well under a quarter of that and I succumbed.  18 inches high. They didn't know who it was by and I let them keep the shade!

Not the original hessian shade, I hope?!

Hi

Could be an import sold say through Habitat but not something I have seen before. Any ideas?

An interesting and appealing vintage lampbase which has a distinctive form, glaze and mark. Beautiful organic shape with the retro white abstract design on the sea green base. Not quite lava but definitely mid century, the earthenware is marked with this 'runic' symbol and I wondered whether anyone was familiar with it. Looking forward to any clues or pointers, Michelle

Looks like Tremaen Pottery, Cornwall

That's a nice idea. Will do some more research but was under the impression that it was from down South. Thanks Naomi. Appreciate your knowledge. Michelle
