Ursula Waechter
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I was wondering whether anyone might be able to help me with this bowl that my mum bought at a charity shop. Its diameter is around 25cm. It looks a bit Aldermaston pottery-esque but the potter's mark shows that it's not. I'm just curious to know who the potter might be!
Thank you very much in advance!
(Apologies for the stuff in the bowl. We were using it to hold some shards of a terracotta thing that was knocked over by some foxes.)

Re: Aldermaston Pottery
Actually, the inscribed mark may be for Ursula Waechter.
The decoration is more like her stuff and Aldermaston Pottery. The other two potters, McGowan and Hamid, developed more individual styles after setting up on their own.

I think that it is Ursula Waechter, who has been back potting in the Aldermaston area since 2001 where her work is still very much in this style.NaomiM wrote:Actually, the inscribed mark may be for Ursula Waechter.

Small 5 inch Aldermaston bowl unsigned - confirmation pls
Hi
A little 5 inches across and 3.25 inches tall bowl. The decoration is saying Aldermaston to me however it is not signed to base. Base has a raised rim with a swirl inside.
Could anyone indentify the maker/artist please.

Re: Aldermaston Pottery
Yes it's by one of the Aldermaston potters, although, without a mark it's difficult to say by who, or if it was made before or after Aldermaston closed.
Possibly Ursula Waechter or Laurence McGowan

Edgar Campden cereal bowl. Not sure what all the other marks are around the AC monogram, or why he'd bother on what is otherwise a very ordinary little bowl.

Pork

I think it was meant for Pork dripping (as opposed to Beef dripping)
Jane O’Connor
Jane O'Connor ( not Edgar Campden )



The circular part of the mark is in 2 separate arcs which was a characteristic of Janes'. Also I note the design is floral, which was a theme that Jane pursued when she did her own stuff at Aldermaston.
She would have made it in 1979 or very early in 1980. (not 1978, when she started, as she was probably not let loose on such pieces until she got into the swing of things)

I think they're still as obtuse as ever, Denby :)

Well any info is always useful. I've amended my alphabetical list now, (60 assistants!).
It can be downloaded from here (4Kb RTF file) if anyone would like a copy.

Re: Aldermaston Pottery
Two finds, a lustre David Tipler (61-75) and a dated 1960 ACS tall goblet in pastel colours. I've worked out how to colour match photos in Photoshop - it takes time but it's worth the effort.










Re: Aldermaston Pottery
Just a couple, do you realise how many banana boxes of studio I have in the attic?
It would take me days to find the other bits! These were to hand...
