Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)
Hi,
Having purchased this "CELTIC" incised coffee pot and 2 smaller pots, wondered whether they are "CELTIC Pottery", Newlyn Cornwall? Having checked out their gallery & history think I am barking up the wrong tree. Any info or point of reference would be appreciated. Would anyone also know why there are holes running around the rim of the larger of the two pots, what would this one be used for?
I have attached a thumbnail photo of opur Newlyn pot, which retains the original gold foil stamp, but this work is quite different to the "CELTIC" pots.
Many thanks M & S

Re: Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)
Thankyou all,
Thats a great start, and much appreciated.
There is also a very faint black stamp which is difficult to decipher. This sits under the "CELTIC" incised mark on the sugar pot only.
Looks like R*****C Pottery followed by an indistinguishable longer word, probably the location? far too faint to photo with macro though- Will get researching....
Thanks Sharron

Re: Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)
definately not Celtic pottery Newlyn,they don't look like Celtic pottery Ireland either
possibly Celtic is the design rather than the pottery

The design is probably based on the celtic knot , the piece with holes has what looks like a turtle , anywho , With the word celtic ,it must have someything to do with ,either Ireland , scotland , wales or cornwall .............

Re: Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)
Back to my pots!
It does resemble a tutrle!
Mike has since remembered that the lady we had it from, said she bought it years ago from the Isle of Man. So we have now, (rightly or wrongly) deduced from the faint stamp which begins with an "R" that it may be Rushton Pottery? Its certainly seems to be a seven letter word beginning with "R" and the next word fits "POTTERY". Might they have made a Celtic range in their lifetime? Think it has closed now- does this jog any ones memory banks?
TIA M & S

Vase Celtic design - Rushton Pottery, Isle of Man
Unmarked vase. The mustard glaze looks like Bertoncello but it also has s moulded brown design round the middle.

Re: Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)
Most of these have "CELTIC" in capitals impressed on the bottom, so for ages these
were confused with, and of course sold as, Celtic pottery of Cornwall.
Eventually I saw one with a sticker aswell, which gave the pottery name and
ended the confusion.
