Fantastic plate, Dan. Is it a studio piece and what is the diameter?

Thanks Nige,
Yes it's a studio charger 34cm diam

the charger arrived today and is way better than is looks in the photo's
the firing was perfect so there's lots of texture and depth plus the colours are  just electric.
The potting is also thinner than my other Poole Chargers and has a number 5 stamped into the base?
it is stamped with the 1964 - 1966  POOLE STUDIO - ENGLAND blue stamp

I need to ask Tony Morris about this one as I'm almost certain he made it

Jealous Dan ... very jealous ... a cracker of a plate ... !

thanks Nige, it's the best Poole I have bought in ages

I recently picked up these two small bowls. When I started looking I realised they were Aegean but I've been unable to find much on line about them. The only reference I found was to a larger version ( 486).
These have the pattern 587 on reverse , the Poole mark for 1966-80 ? and a decorators mark. They have slightly different patterns . Diameter 12cm
Can anyone help with age and the name of the decorator??

      Thanks

hi, These are the Sienna range rather than Aegean. not sure who the decorator is either.

cheers lee

Donna Brogan 1977 - 1979

medieval calendar series charger, designed by Tony Morris

 

I recently bought this blue stamped (1966) shape 45 pin dish, I'm not sure who decorated it but I'm guessing Betty Banten.
Perhaps the saucer collectors can enlighten me

Jean Millership I think Dan

thanks DD     yes it does look like her monogram

I would have to concur Dan ... looks very much like Jean Millership signature ... having said that the design is not really like her usual style ...

that's the problem with 49ers,not enough room for a clear monogram

just seeing the prices of what Atlantis is selling for at the moment and I am thinking maybe I should sell my collection. average price at the moment is around £150 of a average/nice piece.

Nice triangular Aegean Plate...Numbered 81 and signed JM....Any ideas of date and designer

Probably Jacqueline Mackenzie '72 - '77. Aegean range lasted from about 1972 - 1980, originally it was going to replace Delphis but as Delphis continued to sell well the two ranges continued side by side. Its brown/orange palette reflects the colours that were fashionable in the mid 70's.

popped up the Antique fair near Ipswich this morning and grabbed a couple of bits.

first a very nice and very early spear by Jean Millership





the second is a unusual #3 8" plate by Carolyn Bartlett

The exhibition opened at the weekend here in Taiwan, with around 150 pieces on show at the country's Yingge Ceramics Museum - Yingge is the Stoke on Trent of the island.

Here are a few snaps to give you an idea...











Hopefully some Taiwanese will become interested in Poole - very few know anything about the company at the moment. I met with the museum's PR woman today (see the fourth photo above) and she'll be sending out a press release to the local newspapers.

Many thanks for the positive comments.

It's hard to get good shots under the halogen lighting, and with most of the pieces behind covers... but here are a few more snaps:

decorated by  BY Shirley Campbell 1966-1969

odd that in over 10 years of collecting 1960's Poole I have never noticed this shape before??

I guess it's from another range and was grabbed by Shirley when she wanted a change
