Mick & Lesley Dixon, Bartley Heath Pottery

Bartley Heath Pottery, North Warnborough near Odiham in Hampshire.
Set up in 1974 by Mick & Lesley Dixon and still in operation.

Slipware candleholder
Edited to add, visited today and Lesley Dixon says it’s Mick’s handwriting on the base. They’ve been at Bartley Heath for over 40 years and this is an piece of slipware made by Mick from their early days, but proved less popular than the stoneware so they stopped making the slipware fairly quickly.

Well there's only so much you can do with slip decoration.
They're doing different stuff these days - http://www.bartleyheathpottery.com/

Michael Dixon spent a long time at Grayshott Pottery - from their website:

Michael started his training at Farnham School of Art at the age of 13. He then worked in several small pottery workshops around the country joining Grayshott Pottery in 1970, to set up and run the hand throwing studio.
