Julius Torino, Great Braxted Pottery

This is a mighty pot, about 33 cms tall and weighing some 4.5 kgs. It appears to have been hand-thrown in two sections in a buff stoneware, with a textured outer surface covered in a thinly-applied matt brown glaze.  Glossy tenmoku-type glaze inside.

At first sight I thought it had a vaguely Scandinavian look and feel, but then I spotted the mark of Jennifer Hayes in the book and contacted her, but she has confirmed that it isn't hers.

Any ideas or suggestions most welcome.

Seen a bowl in a Charity ....and not heard of this Pottery...Manageress wouldn't let me take a photo of Potter's mark 

Found a couple with a label and mark - is this the mark you saw?
Seemed to be operating in the 80s from the village of that name. Not particularly well known or collectable, tbh.

Not sure...but the description on Pinterest make them sound amazing...and expensive!!

The pottery isn't in the Yates-Owen book.

Another photo -

Thanks Naomi...I think that one is quite interesting

Looks like the same mark as Great Braxted Pottery c.1980s

Thank you Naomi - you're amazing! No idea how you make these connections!

It looks absolutely right, but to double-check I'll need to mount a major expedition into the deepest recesses of my attic where unattractive unidentified pots get banished.

I can't find anything online about Great Braxted Pottery. Does anyone have any information?

I've not been able to find anything. Seems it was one of those hundreds or thousands of individuals who set up in a village producing pots for a while before disappearing into anonymity. We have something similar at a village called Steventon. No one knows who the potter was, and the pottery was named after the village.

Anyone Id this small dish it’s approx 2 half inches high.
there appears one mark on outside at the base.
thanks Lawrie

I think it’s by Great Braxted Pottery although Jennifer Hayes has a similar mark

Hi All
Large folded slab vase - cant find the mark.

Anyone any ideas?

TIA

It's a Great Braxted pottery mark. Essex.

I don't think there was a lot produced there, so that is probably a unique piece.
Goes very well with your very nice decor aswell

Thank You Bernardo

For both the ID and comment.

Kind Regards

Hi There, I found this large Brutalist studio pottery vase today, does anyone recognise the makers mark? Sort of a figure of eight with a roof on top.

Many thanks for your time

I think it's more likely to be FB, but doesn't quite match Fred Bramham's mark.

Looks like Great Braxted Pottery

Thank you, Naomi, that's the mark. You are brilliant at this. Do you know anything about them, can't find anything on line about the a tual pottery or who the cermacists were?

Unfortunately we only have an old label which doesn't include the potter's name

Hi Naomi

Contacted their Parish Council to see if they can put me in touch with anyone in the village that might know. 

Will let you know if I find anything out

Sam

That's great
