Farnham Owl Mystery HT mark - probably Roger or Hilda Ross Turner
This sgraffito Farnham owl has incised HT as do other sgraffito pieces on the farnham pottery site , the maker has never been Id'd and the site people reckon it could be initials of a local hospital as pices were found there , I don't buy that at all , ok I have recently bought an owl slipware lamp by Roger Ross Turner , his Wife hilda turner also potted and the initials match the farnham pieces , I reckon they might have worked at farnham at one stage but have drawn a blank on the net

Re: Farnham Owl Mystery HT mark - probably Roger or Hilda Ross Turner
I don't have any expertise in this area but have visited the pottery buildings in Farnham and do hope that the plans to bring pottery back to the site are successful.
It might be a long shot but Mick Pinner, who runs the West Meon Pottery had his business at the Farnham Pottery until around 2000. Although he might not know the answer himself he might be able to suggest someone with more knowledge of who worked at Farnham in the past.

I think that it's the same pottery but a previous potter who had that pottery. Mick makes architectural ceramics mainly.

Re: Farnham Owl Mystery HT mark - probably Roger or Hilda Ross Turner
it might just be my 'seeing' things incorrectly but isn't this incised HTK or THK?

Your not seeing thing m , my first reaction was HTk , but when I contacted Hoggie at the farnham collectors site they assured me it's just HT as can be seen here

However turns out roger ross turner when he worked with wife Hilda he added an R to the HT , this can be seen in the studio potters book, not saying it's an R on my piece unless very sloppily done , don't know what to think ., I'm not suggesting 100% they both worked at farnham but I think it's a possibility .
