Wall plaques - J H Matthews Surrey

only  one that I own is signed & dated 1983,I can find no info on JHMatthews however the seller informed me she was a female ceramic artist working in England.

The plaques are all slip moulded by the look of them

two more plaques to add to my collection but no more information unfortunately

Bought this...no markings





Bit Hornsea ??

I have owned this plaque for a couple of years and only just realised who made it

I'm still not sure about the maker of these plaques,only one was marked and it was done after firing so could even be the previous owner.
I have Googled the name on numerous occasions but the only JH Mattews is an author who specialises in the Surrealists

Despite the vintage look of this I have feeling its not - any ideas??



Thanks

So like a Hornsea Clappison Muramic, even the "Cordon" pattern is evident in there.

I think this is by Tim Matheson. I have a cat tile by him with the same black & white technique and same back. However, other than making these wall plaques I have no other information about him.

I have a cat tile that is just like this in both style of decoration and the reverse. I was told it was by Tim Matheson
Eitherway, I don't think this one belongs in his thread.

Sorry is his name Tim Matheson Eitherway??
and is it his thread or this thread ???

Pedantic .........  moi ?

all these plaques were made by the same potter but we cannot be sure who that potter is

is there no info on Tim?

Vincent gave me the id. I think he has one with a label. I'll check next time I'm at Farnham.

thanks, I have had these plaques on my walls for almost a decade

Kicking myself I didn't buy this at the time.

that's very a very different subject but you can still see clearly it was made by the same person

I have a whole cat version somewhere.

Saw a set of four of these train and carriage plaques recently.

this potter is number one on my not identified list,I have plaques in several rooms so I'm constantly reminded that I have never found difinative proof of their maker

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

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?
