Poole Pottery 1960-1980 Part Two

a Gs vase with monkey head decoration just sold on ebay for £1,375.00

Yeah, it was a nice one - looked like it was made yesterday. I've got several monkey buttons and I tidied up last year whilst packing and 'lost' them. Package about the size of 20 Rothmans. Drove me god-dammed mad for about a month wandering about the house looking in drawers, scared I had thrown them out, sleepless nights, can't be in that box - check anyway - not there. Trying to remember if I had opened this or that box. In the end they were packed away in a box where they should not be. But the joy and relief of finding them yay! Like a lost cat come home on Christmas morning

I did the same with a mermaid head that I bought when visiting Guy's studio.
I know it was placed inside a pot for safe keeping but which pot?

Re Naomi's post above.
A decent 49 by Jean Millership, but £20 in that condition?
The problem with the "orange peel" glazes, is that they are pourous.
A lot of these dishes seemed to end up as plant saucers, and the dirty water soaks
straight though into the body, emerging under the glaze underneath.
I'e often picked them up with a hard ring of limescale on the top also, easily removed.
Immersing in thin bleach for a few days, usually, but not always, gets rid of this staining.

Yes, far too expensive. They’d be lucky to sell it for half that price

DD - Why use a lovely ashtray as a plant saucer?
N - Took at least two to bid that price. Perhaps see one a year on the market?

My reply was to denbydump regarding the pin dish

Hello
Can anyone help identify these initials please?

Poole Pottery Tony Morris vase

approx 14" tall

That is really nice - what is the theme? - the little head reminds me of GS mermaid

Its an interpretation of the Medlar tree and stone wall in Guy Sydenhams back garden on Portland. With Tony's 'eye' motif and one of Guys mermaid heads. Have a look at the actual tree on the Poole images website.

Had a look could not find it? Which page?

I have only seen one Medlar tree in my whole life and it was in Guy's garden. Are they rare?

Yes, fairly rare. They're not found in the wild in the UK, as far as I know. I can only remember seeing 4. One is 5 miles down the road. I planted one in our last garden. And I've seen a couple in National Garden Scheme Gardens.

The picture of the tree in question is on the 'Tony Morris home studio' page.
Therei is a road near me called Medlar avenue/road though I don't know if there is a medlar tree along it.

The top two are 8" Studio plates, while the bottom two are 5" dishes - both with TV marks...

Atlantis vase by Jenny Haig.

I don’t know what date this is; I’ll move it if it’s in the wrong section

correct section (1965-66) and the best decoration I have seen on that shape. Did you buy it?

No, it was £120

I would have tried a haggle but it's close to cmvalue
