splash decoration, unknown E mark - Elizabeth Saunders

by **bistoboy** February 1st 2010, 8:13 pm

can anyone identify this pot for me? i haven't got a clue Elizabeth Saunders 466571

about the mark - it looks like an "M" over two dots, or if turned upside down a "w" with two dots above, or perhaps even an "E" with dots!!!

still no ideas?

only that it looks to be post 1980,hand decorated and very attractive Elizabeth Saunders 466571

my guess is that it's English

I wonder if it could be by Janice Tchalenko for Dartington pottery? The mark would be a bit skewed if it was.

I think not,the colours are not Dartington glazes but I agree the style is similar to that of JT

Hi everyone - my first request for an ID is for a potter I collected during the early 1990s in Northants. The bird spout jug came from an exhibition at Northampton's Central Museum but I lost the details and the mark was obscured by glaze. I've since collected more of her work with clear marks so think it's time I found out who she (or possibly he) is. Does anyone recognise the work? All stoneware and all in these distinctive polychrome glazes. Many thanks.

Jim Bassett has kindly emailed me back with the following
"I think your pot may have been made by an ex guild member Liz Saunders, but I don't recognise/remember the mark!
I have passed on your enquiry to John Mathieson and Deborah Hopson-Wolpe who were my contemopary Guild members. I think Liz left the Guild and maybe potting with serious arthritis."

The name sounds right to me but hey, it was nearly 20 years ago!

It's another one by my unknown Northamptonshire potter isn't it?! We have a possible name now - Liz Saunders

Yes, certainly looks the same colour pallet.

Shape looks like Dartington but doesn't quite seem right. There is a faint impressed mark where the handle joins the main body. Bottom is unglazed and unmarked. Any help appreciated.

a lovely single handled lidded multi coloured pot. Has a stamp of what looks to be an E with two dots. Looking for help with the maker please.

I have a seen a few pieces wit this glaze and colour but can't find the maker. Either an E with two dots or an M with two dots.

The pot doesn’t look anything like her work. Any clues?

by **NaomiM** February 23rd 2018, 10:25 am

The base and clay look the same. Potters don’t always stick to the same thing over the years

by **Johners2000** February 23rd 2018, 10:28 am

Have tried to find contact details for her to ask but can’t find anything. Does anyone know if she is contactable?

by **NaomiM** February 23rd 2018, 10:40 am

One of the guild members might be able to help

by **MCWebs** August 23rd 2019, 9:58 pm

How on earth do you do it N?...

Lovely glaze, right up my street. Wonder if she has any connection with Samuel Saunders from the IOW pottery.

colored red oxide type color. The base has been marked with an Unusual

might recognize it or the factory hope that helps thanks Dan
