Tony Eaton, Three Kings Studio, Chester and Places y Dduallt Maentwrog

Does anyone have any information on Studio Potter Tony Eaton (Three Kings Studio, Chester). Just picked up this lovely 10.5" tin-glazed dish made in 1979 to commemorate 1900 years of Chester's recorded history. Haven't been able to find anything on the internet about him.

He's not in my 1999 copy of the British Studio Pottery Marks book.

Hi NaomiM, no may be the Three Kings Studio wasn't in existence for very long.

Had a message from Tony Eaton via Pinterest -

Stoneware Castle pot by Tony (Anthony) Eaton, Three Kings studio - label "Cut & carved stoneware candle holder. A small version of much more complicated builds made between 1978 & 1990"
Tony said he also potted at Places y Dduallt Maentwrog, Wales.

Hi.  This is my Dad.  We moved to North Wales from Kent in 1974, a couple of years later he started to produce pottery in the garage which was sold at craft fairs at weekends.  In the late 1970's they bought a derelict building at 90-92 Lower Bridge Street Chester, which was restored partly by the family and also by builders Dutton & Peters.  Here they opened a shop, Three Kings Studios, selling crafts from people throughout the North West on a sale or return commission basis.  Dad had a studio in the back of the shop and mum ran the shop, with help from a friend and dad.  They sold the business and premises around 1983/4.

Great info, thank you
