It would not surprise me if it were David Eeles to be honest.

I spoke to his son Simon in the summer. David had quite a serious accident earlier last year  and I'm not sure if he is still throwing or only decorating

Seen a few more of his slipware birds and now pretty sure it's by David Eeles. The back is unusual, though. I suspect he's used a standard plate, which may be why it's unmarked.

Hi
This tea bowl has scraffito decoration on a stoneware body. The mark looks like SB, SE or GS . I would be grateful for any thoughts you may have on the potter.

I'm not an expert on the Eeles family but think it could be by Simon.

I was thinking it might be Simon Eeles and llike you know am no expert on the family. However I do have a couple of David Eeles and last year bought a couple of pieces by Simon when I was in Somerset. I've never seen images of anything of his in the way this is decorated, the clay looks different and has a distinctive spiral finish to the base.
I may end up contacting Simon to see if it is his

A David Eeles vase from a charity shop today. In all these years I have only found a
couple of Eeeles family bits (they're in the attic somewhere).

I have this pot by David Eeles. I actually think its a bit unbalanced - the foot being too large - BUT the colours are gorgeous & much more subtle than the photo implies.

Yes, their glazes are wonderful. That one has their Shepherd's Well mark which they don't seem to use anymore.

Hi
The stallholder I bought this from was unable to identify the potter. There is no mark and I don't recognise the style. So I'm asking you knowledgable lot for help.
19cms x6cms deep. The glaze on the top edge is greener than appears in the images. Apologies for lousy photos, the external decoration was very difficult to photograph ( darkish glaze and reflection)

Unmarked. The glaze and clay colour reminds me of Grayshott Pottery, and I think they did some slipcast forms, but not finding this shape or pattern.

Yes. Found a Benjamin Eeles piece with the same folded rim and celadon glaze, and the decoration is typical Eeles.

Either David Eeles or Terry Godby when he was at Shepherds Well pottery. According to Simon Eeles

Funny you should say that. I found one recently this shape which was decorated internally, and similar to another one by Benjamine Eeles. I'll move it to the Eeles thread in due course.

I received the following email this morning: -

It is with great sadness that we wish to inform you that David Eeles passed away on the 21st of September after a short illness. He had a long  and productive life making pots and was in the workshop only two day before going into hospital.
The funeral will be next Thursday 1st of October anyone wanting more information please email me back.
