Robert Tinnyunt

Worked with David Leach 1967-70

My only bit, a miniature jug 3 in high.

A regular sized milk jug.

Hi

Does anyone recognise the style and finish?

A nice lidded serving pot /  bowl that I picked up at our local car boot - my better half thinks it may be Cornish as it reminds her of Charmouth pottery

It seems to good to be a hobby potter - any pointers would be appreciated

Closest I can find in decoration and mark Christopher Macgarshack, Wellwalk Pottery


Edited to say it's an early piece by Robert Tinnyunt. W mark for Westward Pottery at Kingsteignton

On occasions I have walked by his pottery and this is nothing like his work stylistically.

Do you have any photos of his work? There's nothing online except a couple with this same mark and decoration on eBay which have been attributed to him. Presumably identified using the BSPM book

I don't but "I have walked by his pottery" gives a clue. If my memory serves me correctly it's mainly earthenware in not too subtle colours.

A blue piece at last!

I have three handled sauce / soup bowls with, I'm pretty certain, Robert Tinnyunt stamp on each. I thought he decorates with brushwork and I just don't see plain functional wear that he has made. Does someone know if these are Lowerdown days before he developed his own decorative style? They look good as new to me, maybe more recent?

Ha ha, this was sold to me as a bowl and it took about 10 minutes after I bought it to realise that of course it's a lid / cover.

Still can't get the monogram deciphered but the decoration may be recognisable to someone?

A coffee set.

Hi

Mark looks familiar but not coming to mind.

I’m not seeing a mark, but it’s a design used by Robert Tinnyunt

Sorry it fell off, here it is.

Pretty certain it is, though the mark is sideways. He did use wheat-ear motifs.

Jam pot, with rather bold throwing rings.

Almost certainly made in Kingsteignton, Devon. The Lowerdown pots would carry the Lowerdown Pottery stamp, and most likely he'd have been making standard ware there so it wouldn't have his personal stamp

Another small vase.
Any help with identification would be great.
Thanks.

I believe it's an early piece by Robert Tinnyunt when he was at Westward Pottery at Kingsteignton.

Unfortunately it's not in the book. Seems it was the early mark for the pottery but then he dropped it and simply used his own TR monogram
