Poole Pottery 1960-1980 Part Two

Here are some Delphis and Studio pieces I've picked up recently...

I can't enlarge the image though?

Poole Pottery introduced a transfer printed Beardsley collection in 1979, developed by Ros Somerfelt. This was a black and white range based on the works of Aubrey Beardsley (1872 - 1898).





Many years later Sue Pottinger expanded on this theme with some hand painted designs entitled 'erotica'

are these all yours Dan?

no they're rescued from the Poole gallery before deletion,I think David Biggs bought the hand painted one directly from Sue

Zippy you are such a prude!

No there were some other pieces. This seems to be most of the 1979 range except for a larger bowl and a mug.

There were more pieces added in 1980 (Small Heart Shaped Box, Pill Box, Powder Box, Shell Dish) and 1981 (Bell, Small Egg, Large Egg, Plant Pots x 3).

I got interested in Beardsley at one point (the artist as well as the pottery) and collected everything except the Plant Pots, which I don't recall ever seeing. I've sold it all now though except for a one-off Sue Pottinger vase from the Poole Zone era.

I do have the 1979 and 1980 promotional leaflets though (see below).

** Edit :- I broke the lid on the Candy Jar so I do still have the jar just waiting for a good lid on a broken jar to show up cheaply! For about 6 years so far

Oh, and it's alright Zippy. This is art!

1980 Range

The bell and large egg from 1981. Can't find a small egg pic, sorry!



Hand thrown Sue Pottinger Poole Zone vase:

I splashed out on this dish...

8" studio plate. later line mark

here is my latest buy, It's a 8" TV mark which was barely mentioned in the descricption so I asked for a few pictures and good job I did.

Maybe. These transfers are also used the heart-shaped box and the tray so they might have been using up stock!

Mugs are quite rare to find. I think they probably got used and broken.

Here are some Studio pieces I've recently bought.

The first two are 8" plates with the TV mark.

I thought the first one might be a bit too Aegean, but the colours look pretty good.





This one below is a 10" Studio plate which has the later mark.



The first is a TV mark vase and the bottom two have the later Studio mark.

here are five examples of faked marks that were unearthed over the last 10 years

It's actually a forum rule, please see the 'How to use this forum' section. No live auction links or numbers in the main ID threads please.

Wow ... some impressive pieces there Mr. Cycladelic ...

Just picked up this impressive 16" Poole Aegean vase shape 85. Doesn't appear to have a painter's mark, though my guess would be most likely Carolyn Wills or possibly Carole Holden. Anyone agree/disagree?

to be honest , if its not signed it could be anybody . Where with delphis certain paintress has a certain style so your more able to work it out with them.

looks very unlike Wills to me,try a strong light on the base

Hello Poole aficionados,

I have a stunning Poole Studio plate which, unfortunately, has no monogram.
The design of a John Dory fish feels slightly raised to the touch.
The only similar design of the period that I can find is by Tony Morris as part of an early plaque (see pics).
