Winchcombe Pottery

I have unearthed a little Flyer/leaflet from Winchcombe pottery.
Love to scan it, but copyright etc.
It has an 01248 phone prefix, so must be post-1995.

It lists members of the Workshop as:
Ray Finch
Mike Finch
Eddie Hopkins
Fergus Wessel
Ed. Turfrey

A couple of names to conjure with.

i would say the same as Wesley on being blackmailed by his courtesan Harriet Wilson with publication of her memoirs.

"Publish and be dammed"

Wellington had a "vigorous sexual appetite" and many amorous liaisons during his marriage to Kitty. He enjoyed the company of intellectual and attractive women for many decades, particularly after the Battle of Waterloo and his subsequent ambassadorial position in Paris. The British press lampooned this side of the national hero.[194] In 1824, one liaison came back to haunt him, when Wellington received a letter from a publisher offering to refrain from issuing an edition of the rather racy memoirs of one of his mistresses Harriette Wilson, in exchange for financial consideration. It is said that the Duke promptly returned the letter, after scrawling across it, "Publish and be damned".[231] However, Hibbert notes in his biography that the letter can be found among the Duke's papers, with nothing written on it.[232] It is certain that Wellington did reply, and the tone of a further letter from the publisher, quoted by Longford, suggests that he had refused in the strongest language to submit to blackmail.[233]

You can scan and post it. It’s advertising ephemera, meant to be thrown away when it’s past the date it’s advertising so it’s classed as rubbish, so copyright won’t be a problem unless you amended/altered it.

I have folders full of useful pottery adverising, where do we go?

Now can we Id the people?

compuserve.com, must be something like 1985 - 95?

[url=https://servimg.com/view/15893997/1093][/ur  Edddie Hopkins was one of the mainstays of Winchcombe for over 30 years. Much underestimated in his contribution to the pottery. He really did some fine work.

Almost exactly the same as my large RF plate - same fish same colours

Another little Winchcombe jug...

A large earthenware bowl from the early 1950s. I only had the Winchcombe Pottery seal.

Can anyone identify the maker of this little, or clarify the mark please?   The mark looks like S ?? P, but using Blue Tack maybe S A R.
Many thanks

Its a 70's Winchcombe mark. Sid Tustin retired in 1968,  and stoneware production started in 1964. So between those dates. Its a standard ware soup bowl and would have had a lid. Unfortunately, a lot of these were produced, as the 70's was the time when the Cranks vegetarian restaurants used  exactly this type of Winchcombe ware. Hence they became popular as part of people's lifestyle statement

Hello, this cup seems to have a slight iridescence and a makers mark. Any ideas would be great - thank you :)

It would be interesting to see the whole thing. The glazing looks rather interesting, and that is an older Winchcombe mark. Late 60's, early 70's?

Which bit aren't you seeing? Click on the photo and you get full size.

Recent buy, lovely Sidney Tustin slip ware vase.

There has been a lot of older Winchcombe pieces on Ebay lately. Wonder where they all came from.
Anyways, away from my musings.
That is a really nice piece. Love the decoration around the waist.

Hoping someone can help me to date this and possibly suggest who might have made it.
Looks pretty new, but I do think it has some age. No personal seal mark, other than the Winchcombe seal and some painted marks.
Many thanks.

Painted marks are likely to be a glaze test.

I thought as much, from what you've told me before.
Surprised there is no personal seal, it looks a good example, in my opinion.
Date wise I'm thinking 70's, am I far out ?

Apparently each apprentice made their own Winchcombe stamp so at some point it'll be possibly to ID and date them from the shape.
