An interesting colour in a small jollied bowl with the round mark.

Never seen that type of decoration before, philpot, so I imagine it wasn't popular at the time.

Six pieces made by Robin Welch, plus a coffee pot and teapot below.

The large tankard has Bristol 1979 impressed on it and the mug on the right The London Design Centre.

These came from the time when you might say Robin Welch ran a studio production pottery. Nearly all jollied. They do seem to have done fair amount of specialist 'souvenir' work as well.

Yes, they are uniformal, but the quality is fabulous.

I also have a mug impressed with Bressingham Gardens - Diss Norfolk and once had a Cambridge tankard.

I wonder if he got commissions via word-of-mouth, or if he hawked his ware.

It might well be word of mouth or advertising. His pottery was in a fairly remote rural setting. A few miles from, Diss. 20 miles from Bury St Edmunds, 15-miles or so from Norwich. Not the sort of place you get a lot of passing custom.
Equally of course, he established a reputation as an important potter quite early on.
