Thousands Studio? Wow, that surprises me. Didn't think that they were all that common, shows what little I know.
I meant thousands of jugs and not thousands of potters!!
Well over 90% of the pots produced over the last 60 years has been the production of several different ranges of standard functional wares i.e. the same standard shapes with 3 or 4 different glaze decorations. The person who threw an item is often not going to be the person who glazed and/or fired the piece.

Hahaha, I didn't think there were thousands of potters, but thousands of jugs like this surprises me, if that's the case.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Many of the pots was sold and used by local restaurants and hotels. I remember being there one day and someone from a local restaurant was there with a large lid in his hand. They had broken the bottom of a large lidded casserole and the man had brought along the lid to match the size and pattern. The good news was that he found exactly what he was looking for. However, the old lid was a better fit than the one being sold with it, so he still ended up with an extra lid.

I vaguely recall being told that Ray Finch marked pieces with glaze codes every so often. It was obviously sold on to the public so there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be fully decorated. Waste not want not.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Not seen a mark with two dots before. It’s standard ware so it wouldn’t normally have a personal stamp unless Ray made it. I suspect it was just a flaw in the stamp or a couple of dry bits of grogg stuck to it

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Yes, although the dot mark is normally somewhat more prominent and a little further down. But he did lots of slight variations.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
I think there’s some doubt. Finch’s P extends further above the W, and the dot is clearer. This might just be a bit of clay or glaze on the surface.

I tend to agree. The dot is usually more obvious, and further down from the W. Compare with the many examples here:

Notwithstanding, it's still a lovely vase.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Just had a reply back from Neil Alcock to say it's his ND mark on the Winchcombe pots, not Nina Davis. And he's still using the same stamp (which probably accounts for the bit of rounding at the edges of the letters).
