Red Wheat mug

This large planter was decorated by Alex in 2000

the same shape and glaze as Alan's range of miniatures but twice the size

Any ideas when Wayne Hathaway was working at Dartington. Information seems a bit sketchy about him. Thanks John

Black Rose design by Janice Tchalenko but with unusual yellow centres

Alison decorated this vase in 2005 using reduction-fired stoneware and the outstanding glaze research of Stephen Course.

Apple design fruit bowl designed by Helen Hewitt

Found my first piece of Dartington pottery at an antiques last Easter weekend.

Lovely blue bowl - 1980s?

13cm diameter, 7.5cm high.

The Peacock pattern was developed in 1987 by Clare Woodhall who was then head decorator and Janice Tchalenko. It was based on repeating the tail feather motif, a process employing sponges and slip trailers to build up many layers of green and blue glazes.

Quite clearly Dartington or is it Dart, which period does it fall into and what are the other marks? they appear to read R-C H/B

Thought this looked interesting... any ideas?

Claire Woodall - her monogram's on the Pottery Studio website

I don't recognise the shape or the glaze plus the initials dont match any names that I know so I'm guessing it's earlier than 1983

Bought this Dartington beaker off Robert Goldsmilth at Selborne Pottery. It was sitting by the sink in the showroom; he'd been asked to run a glaze test and it was for reference.
Unmarked.

For anyone interested in the early years of Dartington,there is actually as book.

Not sure what the pattern is called. Seen it referred to as poppy, and as grapes. It's different from the current poppy design.

Discovered it's the Grapevine pattern. The red splodges are supposed to be grape leaves, and the yellow dots are the bunch of grapes.

Nice little dartington bowl, with a lustrous sheen to the glaze.

3 Dartington mugs - a bit drippy; probably seconds.




Very large arrow/Dartington stamp on the base.
