Hi just wanted to show this lovely little cream jug of Eddie Hopkins - Winchcombe pottery, he certainly was an excellent craftsman - love the deep colours and the finish




Not seen that many other pieces out there...

Not sure if Eddie Hopkins’ obituary has been posted before, but here’s a link to one -

We found this Winchcombe butter dish - I love as it has a raw textural feel to it

Nice bit of Winchcombe Pottery :) Is there a dot?

The dot is of course if it was made by Ray Finch. Undoubtedly the most underated studio potter of the 20th century. Astoundingly Winchcombe is 92 years old this year. Their standard ware is simply amazing in its quality and durability. We use their plates every single day.

No dot so I guess a generic potter perhaps

Well it's standard ware, and they've had a lot of apprentices, so you wont be able to pin it down to an individual.

Initially I thought that this mark was a Cadew, however on closer inspection it appears that the logo is "GP" or similar and not a CP as originally thought any ideas please? many thanks

Pat ( Patrick) Groom

Today's charity shop find: a lovely 2-pint jug by Patrick Groom, as clean and fresh as if it had just come out of the pottery. First time I've seen this mark with his initials above the WP monogram.

In case anyone's interested, I've posted a new blog piece on my Random Treasure blog comparing my new Winchcombe Pottery jug by Pat Groom with an Abuja Pottery jug by Tanko Mohammud.

Lovely Large Jug...any ideas of age and/or potter ?

Just a show and tell in case anyone is looking for an ID.

Lovely balance and a pleasure to use.

Sid Tustin soup bowls

Charles Tustin miniature pot.

An earthenware cider jar from the 1950s. It just has the Winchcombe seal but it would have almost certainly have been made by Ray Finch.

But.....
Reality being, without a Ray Finch mark its always 'Almost'.

No-one else at Winchcombe at that time was throwing pots as large as that.

Tenmoku lidded pot with thrown handle.
Can anybody tell me what period this is likely to have been made?
