Poole Pottery 1960-1980 Part Two

the spear dishes are hard to display though which puts a lot of people off

A Happy New Year to Everyone.

And here's a nice piece to start the year - a 10 inch Guy Sydenham Studio Atlantis vase.

wow that's a biggun Kurt!

Thanks Dan

I've got a couple of other Studio Atlantis pieces that I need to take pictures of and post on here when I get back from holiday which I think you might like.

I've also got a new Poole Studio vase which is quite exceptional - and very bright !

Another large Guy Sydenham Studio Atlantis piece. One of the bottle necked series that's 9in high by about the same in width.

Another one, this time with carved spiral panels (again 9in high)

Yet another

And finally a shape 20 Studio vase thrown and decorated by Guy Sydenham - love the blue on the  (but stupidly photographed the side where the pattern isn't the best).

The last one is very rare

Yes - I'm very pleased with that one. I've seen two or three others in that shape but they have been in more muted colours.

One final one - another Studio vase in the 9 inch teardrop shape (again thrown and decorated by Guy)

what's the mark on that one? it looks to be Jefferson influenced

The more I see G. S. pieces the more I come to realise what a skilled, brilliant potter he was. Was the blue shape 20 the one in an auction in Ireland a few months ago.

It has the TV Studio mark - it's a Shape 8 vase so definitely one of Jefferson's.

Yes - that's the one. I was on an island off the coast of Mozambique at time of the auction praying like hell that the internet connection would hold while I was bidding on it.

Guy is without doubt my favorite potter but much of the Poole pottery work did not spring from his fertile mind which is why I prefer the pottery he produced in later life when he was not financially driven and could fully express himself

I agree. I suppose that's why I've gravitated towards his Studio Atlantis pieces where he was able to do his own thing without commercial constraints.

Can anyone help confirm if this is a Tony Morris piece, it doesn't have his TM mark but the painting style is similar to his?

very nice but tbh it could be any the the early studio section decorators and doesn't shout Tony Morris to me

I see that the 3 studio pots are coming up for auction at Lacy,Scott, Knight. I've spent quite a bit recently so I won't be bidding. Whilst I don't think it sensible to advertise when good stuff is coming up for sale I assume that all who are interested will already be aware.

if anybody wants them collected and posted on at cost please let me know . it's only 20 minutes down the road from me . I will try and pop down before hand and do a detailed condition report on each piece . I am away when the auction is on and would not be about to collect and post until about the 22nd march

I think I'm in the same "lack of funds" boat after having spent heavily on a couple of paintings recently but will be interested to see what they go for as they very rarely come up for sale. I see that one already has bids over £500.
