Robert Brumby, York

I’ve seen a few of the first one before; signed York, KC or CP or other monogram. I think it may have been a pottery co-operative.

The second one looks like John Froud’s ‘JAF’ monogram - Avago Farm Pottery, Huntington, York

Thank's Naomi, I was going to ask exactly what a co-operative would be, but I'll google it and educate myself a little.
I have never heard of that one before, many thanks, I'll have a dig

I guess it’s a collection of young potters using the same studio and making similar pots, like Chelsea Pottery, and Powdermills Pottery with their anagama kiln.
There are one or two currently in London... but their stuff is a bit hobby-potter-ish

Cass’s York mark was a stamp according to the Marks book, not handwritten

I’ve split the questionable Barbara Cass pot, signed York, from that thread and merged it with this one.

Hello all,

Anyone recognize the maker of this item? Thanks in advance.

Still a mystery

Hi. Can anyone help ID this vase. It has a three raised dot mark on an indent in the neck. Thanks

We really need to see a photo of the mark and base which are the items that give most information to identify a piece,
As an observation it does look like a bit of an oddity. Three pieces thrown separately then joined together. The whole item looks worse than the individual pieces would look on their own.

I really like it! I thought there was only the mark on the neck - on previous photo but I  have just found this.

KC mark for Ken Cameron:
Via Robert Brumby: "he attended my pottery classes in the 70s ish. Started producing on his own account. Had a stall in the York Market selling his wares for awhile. Not sure what happened after that. I admired his general artistic awareness, and I am sure he is your man. Hope this has been helpful”

I believe it's Barbara Cass.

Looks like another of our mystery York pots

The York History page on Facebook believes they were made at Robert Brumby’s studio, York. 1960s-70s. Probably explains the RWB monogrammed ones

This is an example of Barbara Cass's mark at York for comparison

we have several images on the forum too

Via Robert Brumby:

“There was a period when I worked in the Shambles (between 1963 to 1974) under the name ‘Ceramic Projects'. The CP comes from that”

is he still active?
My friend visited the Liverpool metropolitan cathedral last week, or "Paddy's Wigwam" as it's known locally, and posted pics of the Madonna and child

Still sculpting

I would love to see more of Robert's work, might he be persuaded to supply some pics?
