Re: 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.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
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.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
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

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
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?

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
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.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Painted marks are likely to be a glaze test.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
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 ?

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