Dartington Pottery

Great, what’s the other mark ? Is it a particular Potter’s mark. Any idea what the pattern is called?

The decoration reminds me of Marianne De Trey.

she was at Dartington so maybe it was a nod to her?

Mug bought last year 2nd hand in Dartmoor, devon. Looks hand painted as relief raised.
I can't find the stamp on your list.
Can anyone identify it?

I haven't seen that design before so not a common one

Hi, have recently stumbled on your interesting site, and joined. I am Marianne de Trey's daughter, brought up at Dartington. If I can be of any use in identifying her pots, or indeed her students' or co-workers' work, then I wd be glad to help. best wishes

Hi,
Yes your input would be invaluable, did you leave in 1982?

I don’t know if I should be posting this here or the Dartington thread.
I bought 2 dinner plates together, one with a “modernist” design and a painted Dartington mark on the reverse.
The other has red splodges on front and back which I think are red hearts which have mostly not taken well. No mark on that one but plate size etc is the same.
Are these designs known - with names, or are they one-off playful pieces or trials?
Any help appreciated as even tho’ Dartington is just down the road, I’ve not handled enough of their work.
Thanks, as ever.

I thought the red marks were similar to the red on the poppy pattern too. Thanks.

Hello all,

Have been unable to find the maker for this item. Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions/ideas as I have hit a wall in my search to identify the maker.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Thank you! Any idea who B A/the potter was? Expertise is much appreciated!

Dan will probably know.
Several people worked there.

I’m fairly sure this is Dartington Pottery but no mark.
I think on the Dartington thread there’s a pattern like this attributed to Janice Tchalenko ?

It might be Crowan with that olive green.

I have never seen designs like this from Crowan Pottery.

Thank you, I’ll take a look.

They do have a David Leach style look about them. David Leach did have quite a few apprentices hence you see a lot of just L+ work. But equally David Leach lived very close to Dartington, and had a lot to do with it in the early years, It is equally possible that this was made by a Dartington trainee potter with some David Leach input.

I have one of these with a Dartington mark.
