Winchcombe lidded jar. Unmarked but it came with the Ray Finch coffee pot and has the same surface

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 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?

by **philpot** on March 28th 2018, 6:33 am

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.

by **olipayton** on March 28th 2018, 11:34 am

No dot so I guess a generic potter perhaps

by **NaomiM** on March 28th 2018, 12:07 pm

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

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.
