Dee Cee marked pottery

welcome TT re: Dee Cee I thought that was an importer rather than a factory?

I know naathing

Hi Dan, I have no idea about this either, I'm hoping those that do may enlighten me ;-) Please tell me all you know. TT

I'll leave that to the German pottery collectors who visit here daily,a lot has been said here regarding Dee Cee so I know you will get the info you need.
Dan

Desmond Cooper was a Birmingham (uk) wholesaler,I think Dee Cee was his company name so it wasn't just German pottery that was marked Dee Cee

Sorry to come to this late but yes, my understanding was that Dee Cee were a UK based importing company. I've only ever seen their mark on West German pottery but Dan could well be right that they imported from other countries as well.

looks like there was only one Dee Cee

Dragon Pottery, Sylvac, Hartley's Hartrox Stoneware, Individual Pottery, and Hillstonia all had the Dee Cee stamp on their bottoms at some point as well as German factories such as Dumler & Breiden

So therefore Dee Cee must be Mr Cooper Then .

i have a pot by Llan Fair Ym Mault (welsh pottery) that was brokered by Dee Cee.

I think the german imports ( the pieces with a swirl design ) could actually be Duemler & Breiden .

They are Ed - Dee Cee didn't make anything themselves, they were just an importer - in the same way that Raymor bought and commissioned lots of Bitossi and other Italian pottery and imported into the states under the Raymor name.

thank you all for your interest and information regarding my ever growing collection. I am watching this thread with interest. would you like me to post a photo of my collection?

that would be great,if you take pics that show the detail of each piece and the bases, I'm sure you will get to know where some of them were made

Hi all, thanks for your interest in my collection. This is a photo of some of the pots I have. I shall have time over the weekend to do more including the marks.

Hi TT, one at a time (with bases) in the ID section would be the best.

Standing by.......

Hi, will do.
Found this on this site too

Very excited to think I will learn more about these pots that I love.

Here are some dee cee marks found on the bottom of Hartleys pottery Castleford Yorkshire The hartrox mark is not present only Desmond Coopers as he did with many potteries

These are from a good book on Castleford potteries by David Wilders called brick by brick pot by pot

Sorry if that was a problem. They have good pics of this pottery, often marked Dee Cee. Dragon Pottery, Rhayader, Elan Valley, Wales. There is a book on the Pottery available too. It was run by a Mr and Mrs Cornish.

The book on the Dragon Pottery is by Alan G Davenport

Another Dee Cee mark, this one incised;

yes Bay was imported by Dee Cee I think? Duemler & Breiden certainly was

Hi all,
i saw this post so i thought i would add here as it is along the same topic. some great info on here. I was just wondering if it is possible to get rough dates for the Dee Cee pottery. i have this pitcher (Individual Pottery) and was curious as to the date, i assume 60s? maybe 70s? thanks.

Probably 50's its by Hartley's from Castelford Yorkshire
When I get time I will look it up

Remember DEE CEE was not a pottery but an entrepreneur

Right here we go
The jug is from the art ware range, this started around 1952 the pottery closed 1960
Marks on the bottom Dee Cee = Desmond cooper entrepreneur
F2 shape of Jug
ES decorator Eileen Sparling
Indivdual pottery means the differance between normal artware. That is although normal artware was hand painted (so each design would vary) the designs would be repeated
Individual pottery was a one off design not repeated again
