Hopefully this is better Mary Rich - Page 2 Img_0212

It is, on the earlier side (salt glazed).

Mary Rich at Art in Clay 2017,
This is the work she is famous for, and which she has been doing for a large part of her career. The domestic items from this thread are her earlier work.

Here's an image of Mary at Art in Clay, Hatfield 1999.

Again, thanks to all posting all these great and useful pix.
I have never been to one of these fairs, most of it leaves me completely cold,
However I would make a bee line for a Mary Rich or a Geoffrey Swindell's
pitch and instantly empty my bank account.

From an auction a few years ago. Mary rich really is quite an underestimated potter.

by **philpot** Wed May 13, 2020 3:17 pm

Another from the same auction as above.

Just checking this green-blue porcelain bowl I’d Mary Rich and not Micki Schloessingk.
And would it likely be 1990s, predating her gilded decorative work?

by **studio-pots** Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:53 pm

It looks like something Mary would have done to me but I would think earlier.

by **studio-pots** Sat Apr 17, 2021 6:00 pm

I have checked back through CPA books and it is most probably from the middle to late 1970s.

by **benwilliams** Sat Apr 17, 2021 7:27 pm

Thanks for checking, Studio. I’ve had one or two pieces before her gold lustre style but not as early as that. Thank you for your help!

Hand thrown stoneware

by **abstract*toad** Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:11 pm

Isn't that the mark for Micki Schloessingk ?

by **abstract*toad** Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:26 pm

Either way, it is rather lovely

by **dantheman** Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:42 pm

not bad for £1

by **abstract*toad** Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:54 pm

Hahaha daylight robbery. Great find for a £1 Dan

by **dantheman** Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:58 pm

brass rings on the handle too, I haven't seen that before

by **Davee** Sat Aug 21, 2021 4:27 pm

I would have gone with Mary Rich myself Shrugs

by **dantheman** Sat Aug 21, 2021 5:20 pm

By Jove Davee, I believe you are correct! Clap

by **dantheman** Sat Aug 21, 2021 5:32 pm

I just emailed Mary and am fairly confident we have found the potter

Maybe HelenC will find a Mary Rich teapot lid in one of her mixed auction lots?

As I wrote elsewhere, it is by Mary Rich from the early 1970s.

by **dantheman** Sun Aug 22, 2021 11:02 am

Thanks for the time period SP.
I will be using it as a plant pot so no lid required

by **HelenC** Sun Aug 22, 2021 12:30 pm

Lovely pot . No Mary Rich lids unfortunately!

My houseplants also have some very classy planters - nothing like a bit of overhanging foliage to hide a chipped rim or a missing lid!

by **philpot** Mon Aug 23, 2021 3:38 pm

Micki Schloessingk of course has nearly always done wood fired Salt Glaze. Now if that were only later Mary Rich later work you would not be using it as a plant pot Dan Laughter
