Re: Winchcombe Pottery
I know that one spot to the lower right of the Winchcombe mark is for Ray Finch ... perhaps someone else can give you more info.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Winchcombe standard ware by the looks of it. I don’t think the dashes are relevant. Each potter uses their own PW stamp so if you can match it to pieces that also have a potter’s personal stamp then in theory you could say who made it but to be honest unless it has the dot for Ray Finch then which assistant made it isn’t really relevant as far as collectors are concerned

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Winchcombe pottery is still a working potter of course, with a superb quality range.

It might be that these marks come from the pottery of the last few years and collectors are not aware of their significance. They could be anything of course, not just a potters mark. This is a a collector's site, and we do not have much interest or knowledge of ultra-modern work. Have you inquired from the pottery?

Sidney Tustin Winchcombe jam pot, unusual mark
Got a nice little jam pot.
Trying to date it and I know Sidney Tustin worked there 1927-39 and 1946–78.
I’ve only had a couple of his pieces before. Is the pattern common ?
The mark is all one impressed mark S above T with the Winchcombe mark next to it.
Is that an unusual mark or does it help date it ?
Thanks for looking.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Winchcombe stopped making earthenware in 1964. So this stoneware pot would date it to the latter end of his career. Is there a full ST there? Can't see for certain.
Must admit to preferring Sid Tustin's earthenware work..It has a folkish charm all of its own. His stoneware work doesn't seem to have that charm, being more or less any piece of generic 60's.70's Leach style pot.
Having said that, it is still a well made attractive piece.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
John Edgeler has written a paperback book on Sid Tustin.Well worth reading. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=&tn=SID+TUSTIN&kn=&isbn=
I have read that Sid Tustin made over 1,000,000 pots in his time at Winchcombe, He was THE production potter, and could produce at an amazing rate. His earthenware pieces cone up reasonably frequently on eBAY, and in recent years seem to be more collectable. It is the 100th anniversary of Winchcombe in 1926, which is not that far away.
If you are thinking of a Winchcombe collection, Sid Tustin is a good base for it. Lots of vert nice pieces at reasonable cost. He was an excellent potter!
Looking at that Winchcombe mark again. It is quite a vintage one. Very different from the mark on most Winchcombe standard ware. I would not be surprised if that dates it to the 60's.

Charlie never worked there when stoneware was made.

I agree that it will be from the 1960s and early rather than late.

Winchcombe Pie Crust Rim slipware 14cm dish. AH potter’s mark?
Impressed A.H I think, who is the potter and is it definitely Winchcombe? Found with an interesting collection of vintage studio pottery, more of which later



Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Definitely Winchcombe. They stopped making earthenware in 1964, which makes it relatively early. As for the AH. Not one of the usual potters marks of those years. Not one I have seen before. Interesting. 4/6 is the equivalent of 22.5 pence.

Many thanks, I'd realised it was pre decimal date but didn't realize they stopped using earthenware in 1964.
