1998- Julie McWhirter (wife)
2006- A Muller, Andreas Muller, AM mark

Hi,

Is this a POG Crafts item? the mark is similar, but does not seem to be quite the same?

Thanks,

Potty.

Found a mark in a book for Edinbane Pottery (David Pritchard 1980-1987) seems to be the best match by far?

Potty.

Edinbane mark from a goblet I used to own-

I have a piece with the same mark; I think it is from Edinbane. And the style is not dissimilar to your mug.

This vase, another 50p find, has a beautiful glaze

looks like Pogs Craft pottery

Mark looks like pog, but not so sure about the pot.

There are many that use a mark a bit like pog, will take a look later and see if I can come up with something too. (I'm not saying it's not pog for sure though)

Evelyn Papp? seems more her style than Pog and marks often confused apparently

I believe Papp Pieces have an impressed signature and this is incised

I have my doubts, but David Pritchard is the best I could come up with.

at least the signature reminds of erika pierny as well ...

In response to a comment by Naomi about the marks for Evelyn Papp and Edinbane (and Pog) here:

I said I would post this mug which could be a candidate for Edinbane Pottery (David Pritchard) or Evelyn Papp:

Think both these pieces are by Edinbane pottery but wondering if it is possible to get a rough age or even a potter. The website doesn't have much information on past potters that I can see and the pieces do not seem to resemble anything currently in production.

Thanks

Thanks Naomi, that was along the lines that I was thinking however I cannot find any reference to David Pritchard on the website, it says that the pottery was founded by Stuart(Whatley) and his father in 1971.

Looking at the information available it does appear that the pottery was set up by Stuart Whatley and his father in 1971 and the mark on the flagon was used by them between 1971 and 1979. I think that the mark on the two pieces might be different, as it looks as if the mark on the bowl has the centre line of the E touching the back of the P.

If so then the bowl could have been made by David Pritchard between 1980 and 1987.

In 1979 the Whatleys appear to have changed the pottery mark to an impressed EP with the full pottery name and Skye Scotland around it. One therefore assumes that when David Pritchard joined them in 1980 he used a slight variation of the old EP mark with the centre E touching the back of the P rather than being separate, if the entry in BSPM is correct. He also appears to have used his own dp mark i.e. a circle with a line through the centre and overlapping each end at the same time and whether this is on special pieces or in combination with the EP isn't clear.

Thank you studio-pots. You are correct the mark on the bowl is slightly different than the one on the flagon.

Cheers Naomi
