Robert Goldsmith, Neatham and Selborne Potteries

Robert Goldsmith produces wonderful,well potted and vibrantly glazed practical pottery in his small studio in Hampshire.I believe it is open to the public and worth a visit.

Robert Goldsmith ran Neatham Pottery in Alton before he moved to his current Selbourne Pottery in about 1993.

There is no doubting who's this is; very characteristic glaze and fully marked.

Paid a visit to the pottery today. Wonderful stuff - next time I'll take a camera.
Just a note to say if you're coming from Alton the pottery is in the centre of the village, on the left. Unfortunately, due to poor signage, you can't see it unless you're coming from the opposite direction.

After a lot of thought, (and abandoning the mother-in-law to the seconds room on the ground floor, where she was intermittently plunged into darkness as the light was wired to a motion sensor), I came away with this one:

Went back for more -

Couple more jugs - the red one is called Red Storm.
Plus a small bottle vase. The shape is a special commission for a restaurant.

The fish is lovely, but Red Storm is my favourite.

Here's more of the fish:

Small coffee can.
Although it's unmarked, I'm pretty sure this is by Robert Goldsmith.

Snap! 25p in charity shop some time ago



Been searching for possible potter since then, now I know

Lucky it wasn't jugs   

From their stall at the Winchester Christmas Market

This is lovely, the colours and the peacock feather style design attracted me to it but it's totally unmarked and I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking

OH and I visited Selborne earlier this year and loved the work in the pottery (better than the stuff in the art gallery next door) so he went back and bought these for my birthday.

Lovely pair. They had a stall at the Winchester Christmas fair and I was very tempted.

Bisto your so lucky to have someone who loves you enough to buy you a lovely pair of jugs : )

From Farnham's Art in Clay 2015

Couple more milk jugs for the collection. Plus a brown one which was a 'second'. Supposed to be blue with red stripes but got over cooked in the kiln.  








Was tempted by these lidded pots etc. Maybe next time
