Thanks, Dan, and others... Did you spot the onion vase on the left?

No I missed that one!
Glad it got to you on one piece

I can see one of the 5" ones (bottom right) that I used to own.

I think I'm right in saying this straight sided vase ( 15cm) with scraffito decoration has the mark for 1966-80??
Would be grateful for any other information please

 

Thanks

Blue delphis mark (1966-67) appeared on items with a magnolia glaze - It is usually found after the dropping of the word studio from the mark in May 1966 and before they moved to a crystalline glaze which produced a black version of this mark in 1967. However one sometimes finds the blue mark/magnolia glaze on items from after 1967.

Is there a shape number or painters monogram mark on the base too?

No other marks on base and the glaze on the interior and base is a creamy/ ivory, would that be described as magnolia?.
Is it possible to say who designed/ potted it ?

Possibly Carol Holden or Shirley Campbell or Geraldine O'Meara? Others may know.

A most unusual item. A strange shape, I have seen lots of items from this
Studio/Delphis crossover period, but none quite like yours.

Don't be silly! it's bang on Poole, just an unusual piece.

A golden rule is: if it's fake it won't be cheap.

I have a similar piece - a 9"-tall vase (shape 84)

Mine has a mark showing who decorated it (Patricia Wells).

Your 6" vase is shape 83. The numbers were shown on later pieces.

I would date these vases to 1966. They look like a Robert Jefferson design.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn the lines - on mine - were made using a hair comb.

Thanks cycladelic for dotting the I's and crossing the T's to complete the information already given by others. I knew the answer to my question wouldn't be a problem to the Poole experts on here.

My comment re iffy/ 80p was typed with tongue firmly in cheek !!

Thanks again all

Early delphis vases were mainly cylindrical in shape ( hand thrown ) and then ( usually )carved. The shape nos. related more to height than an actual shape which is why you can find many different shapes for each height, particularly in 70's pieces. 80p must be bargain of the month.
As to the magnolia base, this was found on early pieces but is also fairly common on mid 70's delphis. My theory is that they either found a consignment of old stock of glaze that they used up or there was a supply problem so reverted to the earlier glaze temporarily.

It looks very much like the "Dolphin blue" glaze that was used on the animal figures,
which were introduced in 1967.

Yes I thought that

Early Atlantis range bowl by Bea Bolton and Guy Sydenham




16cm diameter

same size Atlantis bowl by Bea Bolton

Three 6" vases from the early 1970s.

The one in the middle was thrown and the others were slip-cast.

I have owned this 11cm tall hand thrown,carved stoneware goblet for over a decade now but  still I know very little about it? The style and glaze are similar to the 1977 Jubilee ware.

Today's charity find, a pretty little rice bowl, blue dolphin/magnolia back, decorated by
Carolyn Bartlett, 1962-65.

Picked this up today, no monogramme so no idea who painted it.

Haven't a clue if it's a good/poor/run of the mill example, but it was cheap.

it was correctly priced C_F

Hello - my first post here.
Looking for any further info about this Poole charger with a magnificent owl and moon design in moody brown/green with flecks of blue and with yellow feet.




I chose the recommended image size for forums - hope that's OK.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome 27, great pix.
Nice plate, although it looks like HR, i think it could Karen Ryall 1978-79.

Get rid of that bloody plate hanger!

Thanks to denbydump for the really quick response, compliments on my pix (taken using my cheap Chinese smartphone), suggestion of Karen Ryall (I shall investigate) and advice re the nasty plate hanger ('tis gone).

In fact, I had a quick look on Rob's Poole Pottery site and found this image for Karen Ryall's mark.



It looks quite different to the mark on the back of the Owl plate I have, even the shape of the R. I suppose it's possible that her mark may have changed?

Any further info. gratefully received.

Her mark shown in the Poole book is pretty close to yours.

The long tail on the "R".....

there are several Poole experts on here so I'm sure we will nail it!
