Hi everyone,

I picked up this little pot at a charity shop for 50p just because I liked the colours, I am totally stumped by the makers mark - I can't even work out what it is to try and search it, it looks like it's possibly modern but i'm not sure, any ideas would be much appreciated  

Nice large 12 inch high Pog Pottery Vase.

Now that she knows I enjoy pots my sister searches charity shops etc to find anything she thinks I might like !! Not sure that I'm mad about this little pot though     9.5 cm high , very finely potted but with dull decoration. Not really sure what its meant to be ( if it's meant to BE anything )

When I first looked at the mark I immediately thought I'd seen it before , possibly on here .   Anyone else recognise it  - incised possibly C or GP


 

Thanks

Thanks big ed. I had seen it, the problem was dredging it up from the depths of my brain !

I wonder just how much POG crafts is out there. It is almost as ubiquitous in charity shops as copies of the Da Vinci Code

Nowhere near as many of "50 Shades of Grey" .... and most of them mint copies.

not sure if mark is right way up

David Pritchard, Edinbane Pottery - ep mark

I was thinking POG Crafts from Cardington.

Yes, it's a difficult one, but I think the glaze and clay points to Edinbane

I vote POG

It's a vote for Pog Crafts from me too

It isn't the stoneware body that they used at Edinbane and it isn't their mark as far as I am concerned.

However, what do we know?

See Ebay for details.

Vase is about 3 inches high and 2.5 inches in diameter at the rim.  The outer surface has a slightly rough textured glaze and the interior surface is a glossy dark brown/greenish glaze.  The base of the pot is marked ?? oy.  I have been unable to identify the maker - any help would be much appreciated.

or Edinbane pottery

Edinbane Pottery marks are a lot different, I believe they are always Impressed too, where as POG is always incised, atleast as far as I am aware.

Took me a while to realise that this mark is actually a monogram composed of 'G', 'O' and 'P'. And indeed though its sometimes loosely drawn, the horizontal line is usually attached to the central vertical, rather than to  the curve.

Another piece of POG with a nice clear mark. Size is approximately 6"

 

I recently bought a Raku pot and have been trying to idntify the maker. Edinbane pottery kindly replied to my email and said it wasnt theirs. They suggested Elli Pearson, I have written a note a while ago via a gallery website but have not received a response. Have tried calling the contact phone number for POG Craft but it just rings no pick up or answer phone. I wonder if anyone can shed some light? Thnk you

The mark looks right for Pog Crafts. There's also Erika Pierny, Germany, but the mark's not quite right and as far as I know she didn't do raku

Pog also did stoneware

It may be my imagination, but it seems that POG doesn't inspire a great deal of enthusiasm amongst collectors. I don't know if this is because the charity shops are full of it, because the  unglazed surfaces tend to collect collect dirt, or because of the silly name.  I didn't bother with it for a long time, and still only have 3 pieces. But it's certainly with made great skill and confidence. Just look at the way the three colours of clay merge as they spiral up the vase:



This cost me 10p, which seems about the going rate.
