The Haven Pottery
I've seen discussion on this elsewhere - there does seem doubt. I've seen an auction catalogue saying words to the effect "claimed to be Helen Pincombe". It doesn't seem typical of her work but one lives in hope......

The Haven Pottery
There still appears to be a Haven Pottery in the Burnham-on-Sea/Highbridge area but it is listed as "Pottery Suppliers and Services" so it isn't clear if they make pots, supply pots made elsewhere or supply only materials and equipment.

Haverford West Pottery. Anne & Theodore Whalley. Started in 1962 and ran for a little over a decade. This mark was used 1962/63. You used to see them on Ebay occasionally passed off as the work of Helen Pincombe.

Re: DL mark and HP mark, David Lemon, The Haven Pottery, Somerset
I think you mean Haven Pottery, rather than Haverfordwest. However, I wouldn’t be confident enough to rule out Helen Pincombe. I’ve not seen enough marks by her to say it’s not, and Haven Pottery examples with the similar mark that I’ve seen are molded. It certainly looks Leach-influenced so I think it has a good chance of being by Pincombe if it’s thrown; difficult to tell without a full base photo

Re: DL mark and HP mark, David Lemon, The Haven Pottery, Somerset
The mark is not where Helen Pincombe usually put her seal on the pieces that I have seen and this seal looks "factory made", which is a worry. Also the foot seems too finished. That puts me off suggesting it is by her but I am not certain, as I haven't seen a great deal of her work.

Re: DL mark and HP mark, David Lemon, The Haven Pottery, Somerset
I agree, that it doesn’t look wheel turned. Just found another one with the same mark and decoration. Haven Pottery is most likely

I agree - it doesnt have an x factor about it - I think must be Haven Pottery...
