Derek Emms

This tea caddy didn't come with its lid, but I promised the lady in the charity shop a reward if she finds it lying about in the stock room. It's in white porcelain with colourful Aldermaston-type decoration and lettering.  The mark on the base might be DE.  My first thought was Geoffrey Eastop but the mark doesn't seem quite right.

It's Derek Emms.

Thank you S-P. Missed it when I looked in the book. Wonderful to have a piece by him, but just wish I had the lid.

The painted mark doesn't quite look the one in the book (all our signatures vary over the years) but if you have seen his brushwork enough you don't really need to look at the mark. Let's hope the lid is found.
