Stoneware jar with Cat lid - Bryan Newman, Aller Pottery
Seems a strange restrained piece for Dart, but then maybe Aller on it's side?
The mark is a bit glazed over but it's there.

The A definitely Aller pottery without doubt. When we lived on the South Coast for a decade saw a great deal of Aller Pottery when I was mad on boot sales. Bryan Newman did use a number of different initials with the A some of the time. Never been able to find out who or what they were.

... Bryan Newman didn't use 'year' marks did he? ... Similar to Steve Whitehead!

Re: Bryan and Julia Newman, Aller Pottery (Somerset)
There was a discussion on Facebook about Aller the other day. Paul Rice (noted dealer and writer on studio pottery) said 'Both Bryan and Julia had personal seals - but only very rarely used them. I think when they had joint exhibitions in craft shops'. John Pollex who worked there for a time said he had not seen personal seals
I think I personally have seen about four Aller marks besides the A.
Don't think there ever any year marks.
Bear in mind of course, this was a pottery that produced for nearly fifty years. So in a long period such as that, many things might have happened that others were not aware of.

Bryan spent much time in later years producing such mosiacs in the local area.

Yes, it is. I remember calling at the pottery myself and speaking to others that did to look at his recent pots only to find that he had not made any because he had been out doing these. I think he regarded them as something that he would me remember by locally, as people would see them constantly.

Just stunning. Good public works are always enjoyed and appreciated.
Hope they are listed, as transport companies don't always get it.

I don't recall seeing any before the one at the pottery, which was done for the millennium in 2000. However, I think most were done in the last decade of his life.

Re: Bryan and Julia Newman, Aller Pottery (Somerset)
Bryan Newman - interesting fact?
Back in the early 1960s, Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada were touring Britain talking and demonstrating. One of their ports of call was Camberwell School of Art and the idea was that Bernard spoke and Hamada san demonstrated throwing on the wheel. Unfortunately, that day Hamada had damaged his foot in some way and, unbeknown to the audience, Bryan was under the table working the foot wheel with his hands.
Told to me by the ceramicist Graham Burr and his wife, Joan, who were there at the time.

Is he dead? The Marks book just says he’s retired (2013), and there’s no grave that I could see in the Graveyard
