Yes, I think so. Certainly the right size to have on the dinner table.

The backstamp is the one used from 1957 to 1971 Naomi but I'm sure you knew that anyway ...

I have a couple of Rye pieces in my collection to share. Both damaged but so pretty. Any information re-dating gratefully received.
Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
The backstamps are the same as the cruet bottles posted by Naomi yesterday so they date from anywhere between 1957 and 1971. They are both miniatures if I'm not mistaken?

The P impressed on the mug is Pam Goddard's throwing mark. She was the pottery's first female employee and initially worked as a decorator. Started throwing in 1962 so that and the stripes suggests around that time. The jug no later and probably late 1950s.
The decoration was called "Cottage stripe".

This "Candy stripe" decoration was first used in 1959 so most likely 1960s.

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
I picked up this odd piece of Rye Pottery from a Boot Fair today. It has the first mark used by the Coles from 1947 to 1952 and David Sharp's impressed D to indicated that it was thrown by him.

Found this in the Cotswolds about 6 years ago. Unusual. Does anyone have any info on this particular design?

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
I doubt it has a pattern name. It's just what David Sharp felt like doing at the time.Does anyone have any info on this particular design?

A sleeper in this weeks auction I've never come across this shape before - very unusual. Has the early Made in Rye mark. One for the collection I think...

Bottom image showing rye mark. I don't have the carol cashmore book but i think this was used before 1956? Can anyone attribute the pattern to particular artist?

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
The mark on your lamp base isn't one of the earliest ones but the one introduced around 1952 and used for around 4 years, after which POTTERY was added under RYE.
I was hoping that there would be a thrower's mark for one of the apprentices on the base but it appears not.
There is a considerable amount of decoration and it isn't a standard pattern but I don't really feel that I should suggest a name, as it would only be a guess.

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
It rocks! Do you see any similarity with my small signed pot - red/black glazes are similar? But concur - just guessing.

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
I think it's the sort of style David Sharp would do. I prefer the more refined designs.

He's missed off 'Rye', but it is his mark.

An early Jim Elliot candy stripe jug.
My only miniature, unmarked 1 3/4 in high.

Re: Rye Pottery and other Potteries of Rye
Picky I know but the pattern on the Jimmy Elliott jug is "Cottage" and not "Candy".
Candy has all stripes the same width and Cottage has alternate thick and thin stripes. There was a further stripe pattern called "Fairground" which was the same as Cottage but with the thin lines having marks/dots at regular intervals down their length.
