Cilladon Pottery, Pris McGirr

R

More three toed sloth than tiger claw and Amateur style more than Hamada style but I can't read the signature that seems to begin with W. Perhaps European?

Maybe rubbing some chalk across the signature before photographing it will help it stand out.

Thanks I will try that chalk trick to see if I can get a better image of the signature

Hi, could someone help with the maker of this bottle.




Many thanks.

could it be culloden

Is this better?

Cant find any Colluden signed like this. All seem to be stamp marked.

It looks like Culloden to me but, as suggested, not a mark that I know Bob Park used when potting there.

I believe it's by Cilladon Pottery, Walthamstow. Run by Pris McGirr and her husband Don in the 60s. (Heather & Michael Ducos of Alford Pottery trained there at some point before setting up their own pottery in 1972)

There is a Culloden pottery, the pottery of Bob Park near Inverness. Domestic and individual pieces in stoneware and porcelain. 1970-97. The book gives the mark as BOB CULLODEN in capitals. But potters do vary their marks.

Culloden was one of the ‘maybes’. But the lettering is consistent across a dozen pots I have on file and none match that word. Discovered the word was Cilladon when a written one turned up

Stoneware trinket pot, incised bees on lid.
Signatures could be Gillian or Cilladon?
Looked up some Gillian makers but couldn’t find a match.

I'm sure there's a Culloden pottery

I was all excited as I was convinced it was Allison but you’re right Denby - Robert Park at Culloden, Scotland, 1970-1997. Well done!

No, it’s Cilladon Pottery

Well done! Thanks

Hi anyone know who made this please.

Cilladon Pottery is listed elsewhere on the Forum.

Studio stoneware butterfly lidded box, incised and carved design
signed PMG, PNG, PMG or PMS etc
I’m sure I’ve had a grey one like this before, but can’t find my own record of it.
Thanks

I think it’s by Cilladon Pottery.

Thank you. Sure you’re right and PMG is Paris McGirr. Well done!
