Unfortunately it was too rich for my blood, but still curious to know who made it -

I was watching that, I was going to bid £5 Big Laughter

by **NaomiM** May 16th 2013, 12:54 am

I dropped out at around £30 and that was way over my comfort zone. Happy

I never had chance to put my bid in Big Laughter

As to maker, I wondered if it was Julian Bellmont, but was not convinced. I do think it probably has some form of Aldermaston link?

by **philpot** May 16th 2013, 6:45 am

Judith Patridge possibly?
The AP looks somewhat like her Aldermastom mark. And the other one looks like a bit like one of her Rodmell marks. I have seen a wide range of stuff from her Rodmell pottery.

by **NaomiM** May 16th 2013, 9:46 am

I initialy thought of Julian, although it's not his normal mark. And it has an Aldermaston feel about it, so Judith's a possibility.
Cheers. Happy

Although Ken didn't say, it looks as if it is raku from the pictures. If so, then it would appear to rule out the suggestions above.

I don't have any idea of the maker but "more flash than substance" as far as I am concerned.

So your taste is to the 'Pure' then Studio?
All minimalist celadon or stodgy leach style? Shock

by **studio-pots** May 16th 2013, 12:01 pm

I do tend to like pots with some tradition, sometimes minimalist but never stodgy, and other things that even surprise me at times.

I do have difficulty with bright colours, as I think that they are tricky to get right, but most of all I dislike "Western raku" - junk pots as in junk food.

Me too, you'ld have outbid me with your £5 potty Laughter

The last of the Big spenders?
In reality of course,there is a whole slew of very good studio pottery on Ebay that very rarely fetches anything more than £4.99. Given the recent postage massive increases,one does wonder at the shelf life of such pottery.
Significant British Raku potters? Tim Andrews. I have a gorgeous Butterscotch bowl of his,which I admire Every single day.David Jones of Leamington and the Wolverhampton pottery course. Does some really nice stuff.
Then?
mmmmmm....
Judith Fisher?
Who else?

couriers are the way forward,I still send stuff at the old postal rate but avoid Royal Mail like the plague

I'll disagree Cheeky

(2nd or 3rd time now? Big Laughter

)

I do agree that the decoration is a bit "more flash than substance" though, as it seems to be lacking in control.

Looks more towards Lustre than Raku in my opinion, but I expect it's neither.

Personally I really like "Western Raku" (some of it anyway).

Out of Current British Raku potters I generally like Rob Whelpton, Brian Andrew, Tony Foard, Tim Andrews, Bruce Chivers, Emma Johnstone, John Wheeldon, David Roberts and I expect I'm missing quite a few Big Laughter

by **NaomiM** May 16th 2013, 5:40 pm

The mark looks like AP. and dated 2000. The other mark I have no idea about.

Looks more lustreware in the style of Julian Belmont, than Raku, but without being able to hold it the jury's still out.

by **NaomiM** May 16th 2013, 5:42 pm

Sometimes a potter is consistently good, and sometimes it's just a one off piece and the rest are a bit meh. The Humphrey Wakefield vase with the fish is a case in point. The rest of his stuff I wouldn't bother with.

Eleanor Newell I like too Excellent

You need to disagree with me more often, Potty, or people will begin to talk.

I might not be right about the pot being raku - it was the dark foot ring that got me thinking that it was........................but now you have gone and reminded be that some people use lustre to decorate pottery for their Essex clientele. How could you?

by **Potty** May 16th 2013, 9:57 pm

How anyone could not like Jonathan Chiswell Jones lurtre ware I'll never know Cheeky

My favourite potter also uses lustre glazes, but he alters the effects to the degree that most would not even realise it was a lustre glaze at all, so not all lustre is "blinging" Excellent
