a superb plate but it doesn't strike me as a Tony Morris piece, the subject matter is spot on but the style looks wrong to me

by **dantheman** November 2nd 2015, 11:53 am

do you collect Poole?

by nidgec November 2nd 2015, 12:42 pm

I look out for unusual and interesting Poole pieces.
I did see the one that you mentioned recently (man standing with orange backround), this didn't sell first time round.
If you look at my plate and the John Dory in the bottom corner of the wall plaque they appear to be almost mirror images.
I noticed on the Tony Morris forum here Jan 07, 2013 there is a photo. of a Tony Morris John Dory plate from 1999.
Both plates have strong designs, I prefer mine (it looks better in the flesh, as it were).

I think the not well known John Dory fish was a popular design at Poole, it turns up
on Aegean as well as Delphis.

I agree,your plate looks far better than the John Dory on the TM thread (sorry mandrake) but my favorite version is the plaque made by Tony in the early 1960's

I have seen aegean versions but it is like comparing silver gilt to gold.

by **dantheman** November 2nd 2015, 2:15 pm

I would love to see more of your pottery collection,I suspect it is right up my street

by nidgec November 2nd 2015, 2:38 pm

I only have about 20 items, one of my best pieces is a carter stabler floating bowl, pattern OM.
The only other similar example that i have found is on the pooleimages website (third image on the traditional page) where it is listed as by Ruth Pavely.
I did have a matched pair of Montacute seal/Common seal of Poole plates (one of 25) a short while ago, but needs must I sold those.

That John Dory plate came up for auction recently, it was not advertised as studio but colours etc. told me it probably was. As I was away at the time of viewing and of the sale I didn't pursue it. It may well be T.M. I have a very similar design by Tony from 2008/2009, which is a stunner. Don't ask for a photo as I struggle to post pics. But as has been said, the John Dory seems to be a design that was used by Poole across the 60's and 70's.

Thanks for the update, I am very pleased with it.
It is a large plate at approx. 14 inches and in fabulous condition.
I liked the strong design along with the colours and although I thought that it was a studio plate when I saw it, as I didn't have a photo. of the reverse, I wasn't sure until I Collected it.
I took a bit of a chance but it was well worth it as the plate has a nice textural feel and is even better than the photos. suggest.
I wonder if the later Aegean plates etc. emanated from this design.

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).

This one cost me, but here's a nice 5" dish I won on eBay this month.

I have a very similar one ...

Both done on the same day by the same paintress?

Wow - they are so alike! Mine has the TV mark and isn't monogrammed. How about yours?

Here's a 5" dish I won on eBay recently. It has a hairline, so it was comparatively cheap...

I haven't been buying Delphis for the past few years but this piece was such a perfect example of an uncommon shape, it really looks like it was made yesterday

I've only just seen this. My guess would be it is by Shirley Campbell or Margaret Anderson; an interpretation of a Christine Tate design. The Christine Tate version is in the Poole book (p119 in my copy). Very different colouring and Christine's is much more finely painted but the basic design is the same. Of course Christine herself may have been working from a Tony Morris design... who knows?

Here's an early Studio vase, about 8", tall that I picked up recently...

wow that's very early! Do you think it's a Jefferson piece?

Possibly... It has an imprinted TV mark, but nothing else.
