I just found these page on Tremar from an American site (I think).
With very interesting info.
One page mentions about figures made from the Tremar molds, but by Country Craft Potteries.
Another page mentions about the start and end of the Tremar Pottery and the fact that at first items were Hand Made, before switching to molds.

This home page has very useful links to a load of pictures of the various people, ships, animals etc made by Tremar.

Glad I just found this site.

This is also very useful, and explains why some Tremar items were later made by Shelf Pottery.
An explanation by Graham Alcock who started Shelf.

I was just about to add this to the Shelf Pottery page as well.
And found it was added earlier in the year by 'BrandX' Not sure how I missed that.

I always associate this style with Tremar but have only ever seen it marked with an impressed 'Tremar', so this mark is a mystery to me. Is this a Tremar pot or a close copy?

I reckon tis Tremar

by **philpot** May 29th 2020, 8:06 pm

The mark looks somewhat Louis Hudson's LH mark, but not like most of his work.
There was a somewhat similar mark on the Louis thread that was left being unsure about
https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t5472-louis-hudson-cornwall?highlight=HUDSON

Having said that it looks a lot more like Tremar, or Shelf pottery. But not like their mark.

It’s Louis Hudson.

by **Grumpy Grandad** May 30th 2020, 12:28 am

Thanks all. Just looked on ebay for similar examples and it seems that Hudson made a full range of these condiment pots.
Elsewhere on t'interweb I read that Hudson worked as a potter for 12 years from 1971-83, then gave it up to become a lorry driver. I wonder what motivated such a change of career?

Not making any money out of pottery.

by **studio-pots** May 31st 2020, 10:37 am

He had worked for Alan Wallwork before starting out on his own. Alan let him have a kiln, if my memory serves me correctly, to help get started and Hudson was supposed to pay him for it when he could.

He never did.

From the lettering it looks like TREMAR pottery from Liskeard Cornwall.

by **NaomiM** July 7th 2020, 7:09 pm

The stamp is Lh for Louis Hudson who made them while at Tremar Pottery

by **Roobarb** July 7th 2020, 7:17 pm
