Tim Holloway, Farnham

hello naiomim here is more pictures of the maker mark for you

He only used the TH mark when he had his own pottery on Tregenna Hill in St. Ives. When he worked at the Leach Pottery and was allowed to mark work he used an interlinking KQ seal.

Edited to give the correct attribution since Sunny has posted Tim Holloway‘s mark thinking it was Quick’s - Admin






this is Kenneth Quick's Tregenna Hill pottery in St Ives.- TH mark

Kenneth Quick started at the Leach Pottery straight from school aged 14 in 1945 and stayed there for 10 years before starting his own pottery up Tregenna Hill. There he generally made tableware in a light stoneware and in earthenware for 5 years. Following this he took a six months teaching post in the States and upon his return to the UK asked Bernard if he could return to the Leach Pottery. This he did and stayed there until 1963 when Bernard helped him to go and study in Japan with Shoji Hamada. Unfortunately, a month before he was due to come home he drowned in a swimming accident. He was 32 years old and so no later mark or change of style.

It looks nothing like the mark elsewhere on this Forum that I said was the clearest example of the Tregenna Hill mark that I have been able to find on the internet.

Proving once again that The 20th Century Forum is the only place on the internet to come for information!!!!!!

Finally had a positive ID for this mark (in the opening post, and the one off pinterest which was wrongly IDed as Kenneth Quick). The info is from a fellow student at Farnham who knew the potter personally -

Made by Tim Holloway, who worked at Wrecclesham Pottery, Farnham with the two Reg Harris's, before going to Farnham College; graduating in 1979. He set up a pottery just outside Farnham, potting first in stoneware and then in earthenware, and decorating pieces in Cardew/Wenford Bridge style. Unfortunately he couldn't make a living in pottery and moved on to other things

It's 13.5 inches in diameter and I probably should know the mark.

Tim Holloway.
