Coxwold Pottery - Peter and Jill Dick

Lovely set of Coxwold pottery. His ‘winter’ tree mark is earlier than the ‘summer’ one, but he did seem to have two or there versions of the ‘summer’ one, presumably because they got lost or wore out over the years

Afternoon folks, anyone any ideas as to whom the mystery marks on this pot belong to ?
The Coxwold mark is present, along with Peter Dicks personal seal to the side. The base marks are not ones I am familiar with. Could it be an early mark used by Colin Kellam?
I have other Coxwold pieces with mystery monograms that I presume were collaborations , one I sold a few months back which had the mark of David Winkley, the others I will add to this list as I unearth them from storage.
Any ideas as to whom this mark belongs to are much appreciated, thank you.

As it has Peter Dick’s personal seal then I doubt the other one is another potter’s mark. Maybe a glaze trial

Toasty woodfired mug by Peter Dick

An enormous Coxwold Pottery cider jar, 17 inches high, 12 inches across the middle, and made from almost 13 lbs of clay.

That is the most impressive piece of Coxwold I have seen, stunning. I am surprised it doesn't carry a personal seal. I will try to stop drooling, easier said than done !!!

That is beautiful. Wonder if it was a commission peace? As a utilitarian jug, it must be almost impossible to use at 13lb plus weight of liquid.

It has a tap hole near the base and would need to be filled through a funnel from the top. No idea how much it would hold but it would be a very large amount of cider! Discovered in a charity shop in Oxfordshire.

The tragedy is of course, that such a magnificent piece of work ended up in a charity shop. It was obviously someone's pride and joy at one time, being a statement piece that fills a lot of space. Unfortunately, the same thing happens to a lot of studio pottery that is not of the fashion of the moment. Its monetary worth being nowhere near its original purchase price.
Luckily, it has now found a new home where it will be appreciated. As a matter of interest, where are you going to put it? We have downsized recently - with a garage full of pottery waiting to be unpacked!- and have found the process of 'downsizing' a large pottery collection a hard slog. A piece like this deserves a stand unto itself, to be a major focal point.

Yes it is rather splendid, and of course as soon as I spotted it in the charity shop I had to have it regardless of the fact that all possible surfaces in my house (and then some) are already crowded with studio pots. Display of this particular piece is going to be problematic. I'm working on it ...

That's a good one Denby. You probably already know that this is an uncommon and popular design, also quite uncommon to have his personal mark. Lovely piece

That's a good one to start with. The darker glazed pieces are more commonly seen.

A solid, heavy (for its size) saltglazed stoneware bowl. The mark is very clear and I'm sure it's one I've seen before.

I think you're spot-on, dd. Cheers.

Hi, I have this lovely bowl and would love to find out more about it. Have you ever seen this hallmark?

Perhaps Coxwold

Yes, Coxwold Pottery

They look similar, but Coxwold hallmark has bigger dots.
