Favourite "Worthless" Pots.
by Potty April 15th 2013, 11:55 pm
Thought it would be interesting to have a thread for "undesirable" pots that you love anyway.
They need to be pots you really like that have a very low commercial value i.e. if it were listed on ebay at £5 or so you doubt it would get a bid, etc.
Once I've found the picture of mine I'll add them later

Sits next to the eggs in the kitchen, and I look at it practically every day.

I think this was 99p +P&P on ebay years ago, never found out who made it and I'm not sure I ever will.
This is mass produced and I assume from Taiwan or similar, but I like it!

Most of my small Moffat Pottery Pots are pretty worthless , mostly only costing around the 20p -50p mark , I went as much as £12 for the bigger signed Gerard Lyons pots but in the main theare as cheap as chips but I still like them .

Here we go - Fulneck Pottery thingy (missing lid?), got it as part of a £20 lot at local auction house, sold the others but kept this one because of the super glaze colour and the sad story - the Leeds based potter Mollie Hillam, was killed in a traffic accident 3 or 4 years ago and virtually has no presence online or in the literature.

I really like her work, each time I see a piece I like cheap on ebay it always seems to go for far more than I was willing to pay 
I've got one nice little pierced vase by her, the walls are very very thin.

Rob is a very talented potter but his work can sell for peanuts atm.
I just love this little pot

A favourite "worthless" pot...
by FaithfullJohn September 12th 2024, 5:51 pm
My mum was a professional potter. My dad was a biology teacher and competent amateur potter, but he did make a few excellent pots. This is my favourite. I love this money box, which he made for me in the mid 1960s when he was going regularly to Katie Horsman's Wednesday evening gatherings in Edinburgh.
This coarsely grogged stoneware clay was used by all the attendees (mostly professional studio potters/artists) and was prepared by David Cohen. Note that the coin slot is chipped from my repeated insertion of knife blades to get the coins out. :)

An unmarked 70's Leach style teapot which we use every day. It makes a lovely cup of tea. A dink ere and there makes it valueless. But it such a useful, elegant looking, beautifully made ,pot that is part of our life
