The melon slice is top of my wish list. I was well outbid on the last one to come up for sale.

Finally picked up a marked tile today. A VERY faint mark, had to enhance it a bit.
Reads ALAN WALLWORK BURTON STREET MARNHULL DORSET. on a Johnsons blank.

Although similar in shape to many, the wavy line is quite rare.

Heard from the chap who runs Alan Wallwork's website

Alan did have one of those in his shed, called it a 'snake grooved' oval, about five inch tall, made at his Whitty Down Farm Studio in the 90's.

On visits to see Alan, in his shed were a few smaller examples of this type of seedcase form. He used thinner clay so they are quite delicate and susceptible to damage. He said that he enjoyed making them but due to their vulnerability Alan deemed them unsalable.
I bought the seedpod that we are talking about, from ebay a while back. I took it to Alan and he was surprised that it had survived. He grabbed a sharpe tool and scribed his AW mark on the base.
I will feature some pictures of these seedcases on the 'new' upgraded alanwallwork.info website, which isn't too far from completion.

Being doing my take on "Salvage Hunters" this morning and, although not keen, I did get a pair of these wall planters thrown in the deal.

Alan's reason for making them was to try and get his kids interested in making ceramics but it failed.
