Re: Farnham Pottery (Surrey)
Thought I would add this here just for reference. It is an oddity to be sure.
The design is that of a Farnham owl. But it is made out of copper with an enamel interior. Never seen one like it. As close as I have got is one made in Pewter by Liberty stamped Tudric. This one has no marks, is mid sized about 8 inches tall and is as heavy as you would expect being made out of metal.

Liberty acted as sole agents for Barum ware between 1882 and 1914 and were granted use of Brannams owl jug design for the production of a pewter version about 1902 , so no Farnham involvement , they do look a little similar though .

Think these are mislabeled. They are Farnham owls. Not seen any CH Brannam owls like this, Baron made some but even they look different to this.
If they are up for auction I would love to know the auction house?

There is an equally big one at Allens Gallery, Alton, which has a blue glaze and cream inside and owl faces. Just checking my photos and I see it also has the same rolled pair of handles on the edge.

Re: Farnham Pottery (Surrey)
Naomi the Brown wash bowl and jug I posted are the same size. It's shown below with two smaller additions to the aviary. I'm very surprised that the handle is still on the was jug as it holds x4 litres, the bowl was badly damage.
Brown 300mm 4000ml
Blue 190mm 1000ml
Green 100mm 125ml

Those three together remind me of the TWTWTW sketch with John Cleese looking down on Ronnie Barker who was looking down on Ronnie Corbett. (H)owls of laughter.....

Having to type this with my left hand as the pig I bought last week cost me an arm and a leg from forum-seller. Could not resist him.
BTW the Farnham collectors site is down - anyone know the owner?

That was a very nice pig
Yes, a great shame about the Farnham site. Spoke to Ed and he doesn’t think it’s coming back.

Borrowed a decent camera from work and spent Sunday doing photos. It does improve your chances of getting a decent unfuzzy shot
