Russell Collins, Hook Norton Pottery
Hi All. Found this vase in the North West of England recently. Good impressed mark at the base that reads either CB or CR (but I could be wrong on both counts and am more than happy to be corrected). Heavy for its size (almost 850 gms - 1 lb 13 oz) - measures 19.5 cms (7.5 inches) tall and is 12 cms (4.75 inches) in diameter at the base. I've included an image of the unglazed base so that if anyone knows what material it is (stoneware? etc) they could let me know as I have very little knowledge in identifying what material studio pottery is made from. Thanks

I think it's Russell Collins, Hook Norton.
It may be stoneware; others will know better than me.

Thanks both - found his web site and I believe the pattern is Oatmeal and is still in production

Re: Russell Collins, Hook Norton Pottery
I suspect that he has been doing the pattern for many years though, as I recognise that it was his from the pattern before I saw the mark.

Cider flagon - Hook Norton
Chris Lewis springs to mind but it's unmarked - IDed as Hook Norton

Re: Russell Collins, Hook Norton Pottery
Looks like Hook Norton Pottery but he marked his pieces. Edited to say I've come across other potters using the same style of decoration, such as Laurie Short, so may not be by Collins

Yes...I can see what you mean Naomi. i've had a 'rummage' on the net and I can see similar designed jugs attributed to Russell Collins Hook Norton. Shame there's no mark I can see but I'm now much more confident that Hook Norton is a good 'shout'.
Thank you again.
