Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
only one that I own is signed & dated 1983,I can find no info on JHMatthews however the seller informed me he was a ceramic artist working in England.
The plaques are all slip molded by the look of them

Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
I have owned this plaque for a couple of years and only just realised who made it

Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
So like a Hornsea Clappison Muramic, even the "Cordon" pattern is evident in there.dantheman wrote:I have owned this plaque for a couple of years and only just realised who made it

The cat one turned up again. This time I didn't let it get away.

Old flower design hanging plaque-is it Scandinavian? - T Matthews?
This caught my eye, I'm assuming it's not british just by the design (though I'm almost always wrong!) The underside has no mark but an indentation and marks left from, I think, it being poured into a mould.
I can't find anything the same on searching. I think it was used under a teapot!
Can anyone help?

female blue and white ceramic figure no markings
Does anyone recognise this:
She measures approx 4.25 x 4" and 3/4" deep. There is no glaze on the back and it has a hole for hanging. Any help as always is really appreciated, even if its to tell me to stop buying tat :)

Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
here is the first piece I have seen with a definite maker's mark, the M adds a little more to my Matthews theory

more info from an ebay seller
Furthur to your earlier message when I first bought this plaque just before Christmas, googled it but couldn't find any info or likely maker
three days ago in a not very good local collectors market I came across a letter rack clearly made by the same pottery
It had a label on the back which I wish I had photo'd but didn't and now can't remember
It was something like Matthews pottery Gomshall Mill or somewhere definitely in Surrey
I guess you already know this as you said English pottery

Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
There was a Molly Coryn, Gomshall Pottery, Surrey, in the 1950s but I don’t know about a Matthews working there

Re: Jim Matthews - Wall plaques
Finally we have a positive ID , via a message to the forum:
Jim Matthews was my ceramic lecturer at Art college in the late 1970s and 80s. The original pottery was established in his home in Morden in Surrey and moved to the Old Dairy in Gomshall in the early 1980s.. I worked for him when I left college and the pottery made hand cast flat earthenware ,.. wall plaques, door numbers , board games etc..... happy days for me
