Rupert Andrews, Somerset

Hi, Anyone recognise this mark on a small glazed tankard?

This is the first pot I ever bought - approaching 40 years ago! It was bought at a craft fair at Warwick University. When we bought it he told us that he had been working on this special crackle glaze finish & thought he'd finally cracked it. It's still one of my favourite pots.




He's moved on a bit nowadays - http://www.rupertandrewspottery.com/ - I think I prefer his more understated older style.

This is the most recent pot I've bought.




It's not the best mocha glaze I've seen but I'm pleased with it.

Hi Everyone

A recently unearthed pleasing stem vase with narrow neck. Approx 9 inches high with part glazed based with what could be L R (reversed) and then Y or V?

,  Can't find any info on this lovely vase.  It looks like RA with the R backwards.  Hope someobody can help.

Hello again

Please excuse the multiple postings. I am having a bit of a clear out of the mystery pile this morning (only another 100 to go). Don't worry I will refrain from taking over the whole forum with my pots

Here is one of my favourite mysteries of late. It really is a great bowl with real skill and style but the maker has eluded me. Stands 9cm high and I guess you would call it a tea bowl. It's light and shouts quality. Fingers crossed someone has seen the mark before because I would love to read up about the potter.

Thanks

 

Out for the day and another one to you.

Hi All,

I wanted to ask for your help in trying to identify the two crackle glazed vases, photos attached. They are, I think, by the same artist. The larger blue vase was purchased at the WOMAD music festival in 1989 at the Coliseum in St Austell at a stall being managed by the artist. The smaller vase was purchased at my local auction house last Saturday 15th Feb. When I was looking through their catalogue I noted the similarity to my blue vase and thought this is too much of a coincidence not to be the same artist so I put a bid in and won!. If any of you can help me it would be so nice to know more about the artist and see what else they might have created over the years and whether they are still working.

I can only send 3 images so will send the stamp on the bottom of the blue vase if and when someone replies, unless there is another way to do it?

thanks in advance!

regards




John

Thanks Naomi, the other stamp also looks like an RA so I think you cracked it. Nice to see they're still going strong. I need to post one further query tomorrow, another pot identification!
all the best,

John

Pretty mosaic look mug with Mark I can't read

I think that is by Rupert Andrews

I found this large Rupert Andrews vase today - & I love it - good to keep for a good while.

Very decorative Studio mug, blue & pink, SA mark?
?

Thank you Naomi.
And I was sitting 6 feet away from the big vase of his I posted a few months ago! That has the more usual RA impressed mark. This one is painted. And I didn’t quite connect the mosaic glazing - it really is rather lovely.

This bowl has an unusual crackle like glaze in a lustre purple and green glaze and an incised monogram to the base of an
R in reverse with an A - although the mark looked familiar to me I cannot track this down - any help with identification please?
