I have had several fish of this size in the last decade or so and all have been different in colour or pattern design…..i would think that there would be duplicates of patterns though….

Wondering if anybody can ID this mark on underside of this Ambleside  candle holder. Is it a date or potter's mark?
All thoughts appreciatedAmbleside Pottery - Page 8 20240310

George Cooke ran it from ‘48-68. I don’t know if it closed then. Might be ‘68

Hi all. I’m trying to find both the design name of this dish - if indeed it has one - and the maker. A very helpful member (Philpot), informed me the signature was that of George Cook?. This little dish belonged to my late parents and I’m guessing they bought it in the late 1950s or early 60s, but don’t know for certain. I think it’s delightful. It measures 3¾ inches across and I’d love to find more pieces in this design. Any information gratefully received. Many thanks. ☺ P.S. I’m not sure why my photos keep turning 90° right ! Sorry about that.

The little dish is as you have been told from the Ambleside pottery first set up by George Frederic Cook but this is not marked for him……the pottery was founded by him in 1948 and ran until he sold it as a going concern to the Jackson family in 1968….the pottery closed in we think 84…..from memory……the design is from the workers head…..if you look back through the posts you will see quite a few piece of the handpainted ranges…..covering flora and fauna to dragons and vikings and the puritans which we know was designed by Price…….i don't recognise the workers mark off the top of my head but will look at the names i have and get back to you if its listed……it’s a great little collecting field….and a lovely little piece….

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I’m a complete novice at pottery collecting, but I absolutely love this little dish and can’t wait to find more, albeit not necessarily by this worker if we can’t identify them ! I love all of the Ambleside designs that I’ve seen so far and love the sound of dragons and vikings ! I’m looking forward to seeing items in other members collections and to learning more about this pottery. Thanks again

It looks like a piece of George cook Ambleside pottery…..if you look really carefully you may see an impression of the pressed in Ambleside mark often obscured by the glaze….

Very good observation, I can definitely see the similarities now you mention it. Thank you.

Gritty pike - you can always tell good sculpture as you desire to pick it up or handle it. Can just see it in a dark pub on a mantle piece against a stone wall, lovely thing - undamaged? wow!

Brian reading back - if you know people who knew anything then perhaps ask them to write down their experiences via email? In a few years it will all be lost ands that is much what this forum is about, recording the pieces, good facts and information before it is gone for good, but anecdotes and personal stories are so valuable.

Birgitta who ran Briglin died early before she could write a worth account of the pottery she made a success. It was left to others to gather round and although they wrote a worthy record it misses her personal touch, it's a bit dry and a bit skimpy and I think I upset the woman who put it together wen I described it a 'as dry as eating dog biscuits'

There are so many great potters and potters that have no written first hand accounts to keep them alive and for those that may come to look at a gritty pike in an auction room and wonder about the man that made it

Two friends have taken dictation from people who worked there or knew people who knew people and asked people like myself who deal in the pottery itself etc etc …..So a lot of the info has been recorded and possibly laid down at the Armit in Ambleside…..I’m not sure I know they did some talks based on the recordings…..I have a small booklet with some stuff from it I will see if I can image it and will post it on here…..
As for the Pike…..the people who try and buy it are Pike fishermen so that’s a testament to its quality…..

A rare George Cook Ambleside pottery constellation wall light…..Likely these were designed by Cook for his brothers Crooklands hotel…..Some survive although most were likely skipped when the place was renovated…..Designed as a back lighter the holes to the front light up like little stars…..The front is fixed by pins allowing light to emanate around the feature and from the back……The ceramic edges with tendrils of organic cup designs ….Mounted on steel rods…..It’s a beast measuring 21” and weighing multiple kilos……Never seen one marked you just have to know…
