and here is the 49'er which i am still not certain of

i have also been asked to post my small collection of 81's

and also my small collection of atlantis

Many thanks for posting the pics. Those 81s are really fab!

The mark on the 49 looks like Shirley Campbell's to me (1966-69)



And the 81 may have been painted by Betty Bantten (1966-1967)






My fave 81 is the one on the left below, but I would love to have them all...

i was not certain about the 81 but its not really in the style of betty banten. and thanks for sorting out my pictures. just wish i a computer whizz.

It's hard to know if it's Betty's or Patricia Churchouse's as they seem to have used the same mark.... but I think 81s weren't made when Patricia was there between 1962-65.

I believe shape 81 was first introduced in 1966.

Here's one of my 81s with the same mark yet with a blue Poole transfer - dating it to May-December 66.

Whose mark do you think it is?

Here's another 81 with a blue Poole transfer - and no shape number.

It was painted by Margaret Anderson, who is said to have been at Poole between 1966-1967

the picture of the 4X81's are all the early blue stamp and the 3 together are all the later black stamp

The Custom House Poole plate. Screen-printed. 1959-67

one of my peterbrough buys. although its been restored its a absolute stunner. turn it over and you have to know its been restored to be able to tell the difference.
a full sized 16" carved charger.

Very impressive!!!

at first glance I thought it was Ionian

It does seem to have some Ionian qualities about it ... love the carving ...

Delphis was shipped to Australia, South Africa and Canada, and - I've read - also to Japan.

Does anyone know if this is true, and when exports there started?

I saw a Delphis sales list advertising the 41 dishes as sold in pairs, but guess it was possible to buy a single. It's not that often you see a pair for sale.

The 1972 Delphis price list has a pair at 75p, which equals about £8.36 in today's money.

Does anyone know how much a Studio 5" dish or 8" plate would have cost in 1964?

I've read some Studio items sold for what a Poole paintress would earn in a week.

Here's one of Angela Wyburgh's 41s from the 1960s... well worth 30-odd pence, or around four quid nowadays.

I have a 1973 price list. The pair of 41's had gone up to 88p already - rampant inflation in the '70's! The pair came in an oblong box same as a 361 dish.

A 5" was 50p and an 8" £1.34. Most expensive items were the 16" charger and 16" stick stand both at £7.15. Interestingly Aegean was a little more expensive at £8.50 for the charger.

Hayward & Atterbury has the 1968 price list. 5" was 7/6 (37.5p), 8" 18/- (90p) and 16" charger 108/6 (£5.43)

In those days all my pennies were going on LPs!

I have a 1968 price list as well as the same 1973 price list Gareth has.

There is no mention of Shape 41 plates on the 1968 price list so I presume they weren't around at the time but the 5" dishes had a retail price of 7/6 (who still remembers that notation)! The converted price in "new money" is 38p. The 2006 indexed price is £4.49 with respect to the 1968 price. Unfortunately I haven't been able to purchase any 49er's for the orginal 1968 price nor for that matter the indexed 2006 price.

I think the 41 dish was introduced in 1969, while the bigger one - number 81 - came in in 1966.

When I see dates like these given, I wonder when during the 12 months things happened. Of course, not everythings begins in January and ends in December.

Anyway... How much do you think the paintesses earned a week in the 1960s?

These three 361 dishes are not signed. Who do you think painted them?...
