Re: Robert & Sheila Fournier, (Various locations).
Looks like a nice studio piece to me.
Decoration and glaze looks very like my Lacock Pottery mug -

It does, doesn't it? Maybe my eye is better than I thought .... I bought it & then got it home & had my doubts.

Re: Robert & Sheila Fournier, (Various locations).
Not sure that the scratched mark is a mark - maybe just scratches that look like a mark.
I think it looks hand-made but quite difficult to tell from the images with something that hasn't been thrown.
The wax resist decoration does look similar to the Fourniers decoration but difficult to say who might have made it.
It is not the right shape for a Hamada and the decoration isn't something he did but it looks more like one than many pots attributed to him that you see offered for sale.

Re: Robert & Sheila Fournier, (Various locations).
I'm fairly sure it's right. The base is like Sheila Fournier's cubes, and the decoration and glaze colour is like Lacock Pottery's items.
Although they stamped their items in various ways, some, like my mug, were left blank. Maybe it's a coincidence but the mark on the base could be F for Fournier.

If I saw this on eBay attributed to Lacock Pottery I would have no quibble with it.

Pebble vase - Robert Fournier
Hi all, any ideas on this piece? Fournier or Wallwork are my initial guesses. Base is slightly concave with no marks. 6" tall.

Looks very much like Robert Fournier. Wallwork did not use a glaze as dark as that. They both shared Studio space in London in the 60's. Hence a lot of cross fertilisation.

Looks like a Fournier pebble vase. Looks the right shape and glaze.
A Wallwork piece would be marked.

Re: Robert & Sheila Fournier, (Various locations).
Which of course is probably right. But then how you prove that an unmarked one is by Alan Wallwork?22 Crawford St. wrote:Not all Wallwork are marked

This one is Fouriner .
Joe asked Alan. He did sometimes scratch in the W after firing if he forgot. One time Joe took a piece to Alan for confirmation and Alan newly scratched in a W.

Thanks for all you help. £15 well spent me thinks.

I am not sure "cross fertilisation" are the words Alan would use.
