Re: Briglin Pottery
That is an interesting one. I think your judgement is getting spot on Ben. In the decoration Marianne De Trey does come to mind. But then that earthenware clay and exposed base? Not to sure about that. She had a number of assistants and apprentices over the years, inlcuding Colin Kellam. Equally Shinner's Bridge was a place where there was a lot of cross fertilisation of ideas with many potters living in the area. 'School of Marianne De Trey' mefinks,,,

Re: Briglin Pottery
I’ve just been looking at pictures and there’s a whole world of Briglin out there I wasn’t really aware of. More than my Dougal money box! Thank you everyone for your help.

Re: Briglin Pottery
G'day all, just joined - specifically to show you this small and unremarkable Briglin pot. I'm pretty sure it's genuine, because it's been in the family for years. I just "rediscovered" it whilst doing some spring cleaning and decided to look closer to see if it had a maker's imprint - which it does, albeit seemingly upside down, based upon what I have viewed in this topic.
You might just be able to see that the glaze ends about 10mm short of the lip of the pot (although I'm no expert!). I don't know if this is usual.
I could not see anything like this in this topic, so thought I'd "throw" it out there!
Cheers,
Ian

Re: Briglin Pottery
Maybe an egg cup? Although it looks more like a beaker size. Maybe even from a series of practice pots for a new apprentice

Re: Briglin Pottery
Oh I do like those! The stuff that Briglin did in the earlier years always seems far more interesting than 70's+ Wax resist stuff that they are renowned for. How many pieces do you have now Crawford?

Re: Briglin Pottery
Dan no. Yes they were very creative in the 50, finding their feet - they tried load of things a lot of unusual things, sadly not a great deal survives. I've had the lions share of these cats over the last 15 years that have popped up. One every few years. Rare but not particularly valuable when compared to Parkinson. The sixties stuff is good also. Trouble is that they were really popular in the 70s so 95% of what is out there is churn / mass produced 70s wax resist stuff. Well made just not creative
Re: Briglin Pottery
N that is a nice one. It's got the black(?) oxide under then the gloopy white over. In the firing the bubble up together and you get a really good glaze mix. Look at it really closely an it's beautiful. It's what I think of the best of BRIGLIN. I can see it glopping up round the base, but not running over, they knew what they were doing.
Re: Briglin Pottery
I’m very pleased with it. Off eBay; the seller didn’t know what it was and listed it as Troika style.

Re: Briglin Pottery
The seemingly elusive 1960's storage jar in the larger size. 18.5 cms tall to the top of the finial and 10 cms in diameter. The lid has been cracked and stuck back on, and there is a teensy nick in the top finial. But apart from that it is tip top condition. A Charity shop find today.
Just wondering how rare these actually are? I have never seen one in my numerous car boots in early years, and there was a lot of Briglin around then! Seen some small ones, but never this larger one. It is very unusual for Briglin though. Rarther nice in the texture and greenish spotting.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Have you been shopping in Wolverhampton? I picked an identical one up with a damaged lid last Friday in a charity shop and put back down because of the damage. Like you I have never seen another. What a strange coincidence

Indeed" My daughter lives just up the road, and we are staying with her. It had been reduced to £1.50.

Re: Briglin Pottery
Philpot - I discussed these with Alan Pett who was a good friend of Brigitta and helped dismantle the 22 Crawford St kiln hen the lease ran out. He worked at Hatfield producing Briglin off site as it were in the last years.
These kitchen storage jars are the good stuff. 60s I believe, they are exercises in texture - must be difficult to get the lids to fit so exactly.
I have three or four and Alan sent me a photo of his group from his private collection. I'm an admirer of potters using grogged clay for it's texture as it must make things more difficult.
This as not made by one of the juniors. They are always beautifully thrown.
