Toff Milway, Conderton Pottery

I amazed  to find we have no thread on Toff Milway, surely one of the finest Salt-glaze potters in the country.

Hi

My first post thank you for the invite.

Would love any help in identifying this cake stand, well that’s what I think it is. Found in a charity shop it’s around 16” wide. Any information would be great.

Toff Milway Salt Glaze. Lovely potter and very much underestimated.

Hi Philpot

Thank you so much, I looked for hours trying to find something regarding this. Glad you think it’s underestimated, it really is stunning.

How much did you pay for it?

Hi Phil, It was £10

Phew! Lucky you! That was a bargain. It really is a gorgeous piece.

Yes very lucky, and it really stood out as a quality piece, thanks again for you help very much appreciated.

Hi there hello..

A nicely made Jug. HH mark.
Looks like Henry Hammond mark..?

I. D would be very appreciated..

Henry Hammond never did salt glaze, which this is. His work is also quite rare nowadays, as most of his time was spent teaching at Farnham. Honor Hussey is about the only other potter who uses a an HH mark.

Thanks for the that.
It turns out there is probably no 'H' in this mark at all.
So I wonder if the mark is for the name TOFF :)
Good fun..
And happy to have found Toff Milway's work thanks to Naomi.

He started his Conderton pottery near Tewkesbury in 1985. He used this mark up until 1985. After 1993 he usd a signature of sorts.
