Jersey Pottery (Channel Islands)

Over the years, Jersey seems to have tried an enormous range of styles.

Yes, this dish looks more late Honiton than Jersey

I have been able to establish that this tile picture was painted by the artist Maureen Martin who worked at the Jersey Pottery between 1965 and 1992. Her early work had a triangle mark (see photograph) and later on she used a tan colour dot as a mark.

Hello everybody,
my son received a holy water font for his christening and i cannot decipher the hallmark on it. Can anybody help?

Thank you,
Greetings

Hi Melany,
Jersey Pottery with 3 lions in the heraldic shield

A pottery trivet set in a wooden frame which, I'd guess from the colours and style, dates from the 60s or 70s. There looks to be the remains of a label to the underside. I'm siding towards Continental. Any clues anyone, please?

I think it’s from the Sicily-Italy area, eg Santo Stefano di Camastra

Found another, marked - it's Jersey Pottery.

8cm. high Jersey candlestick.

If anybody knows Edna, can you tell her I've found her snack plate, please.

Small hexagonal dish.

A rather interesting Wall Clock.
I'm guessing it's from the 1970's - but happy to be corrected.

I've found an image of one similar, but not identical.

Hi all,

I have a bit of riddle in my hands, found this really lovely and obviously Delphis inspired trivet that at some stage had a round sticker attached to the back. Poole really didn't make trivets even if they did use a round sticker on some utilitarian ceramic sometimes. But this based on the teak surround and the overall proportions seems to be a piece by Jersey Pottery just looking a little bit atypical of their output but they made a lot of ceramic trivets over the years. Just wanted to confirm my conclusion with other forum members that it is Delphis inspired but really not by Poole.

It measures 7.25 inches across

Sicily pottery uses similar glaze colours

Mark Baker used Poole glazes

Is anyone familiar with the Jersey Pottery ones? They seem to have gone a phase using a Delphis look and they used a round label on the back. Can't imagine this is the product of a craft potter, no matter how nicely made it is.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

There’s another one on the Jersey Pottery thread and the member said they’d seen one with a Jersey label on it. Certainly the oak frame is likely to be British rather than Sicilian/Italian

Hi all - I’ve just inherited this set but can’t find what pattern it is anywhere. Can anyone help it point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I think the decorators were allowed to use their imagination; there weren’t set pattern names

Nice little autumn/winter themed dish with Sweet Chestnut. Would love to know the designer....

It appears to be initialled VU or YU by the decorator. The pottery was set up by Charles and Edward Potter and they employed decorators. There may be a Jersey Pottery Collectors Group who would know their names but I haven't seen a list. I think the decorators had a free hand on what they painted on the pots, although ultimately the design would be approved by Charles and Edward.

Yes agree look like VU or YU... Thanks for the added info.

Thought I'll add that Jersey Pottery was one of the victims of the pandemic and closed down in 2020. Checked companies house and is now listed as a dormant entity which is sad after all the decades they were producing ceramics. Their restaurant business on the island seem unaffected.
