Celtic pottery (Newlyn & Mousehole)

I got this green lion today, it came from one of Bill's assistants who worked for him in the 60's/70's

This little bull came from the same source but was considerably cheaper due to the ebay listing ending during last weekend's victorious World cup match where England scored 6 goals

first time I have come across this label, possibly the first one used after Bill's departure as it's on an early piece

a rare design from the early Mousehole production

Here are the other 5 Mousehole mugs and saucers

my King's head mug arrived today and I was delighted to see the image on the reverse side, it clearly shows how Bill was influenced by Picasso

Lidded container made at the studio, Wharf Cottage Mousehole
Just under 10 inches tall

very rare 15 inch tall vase ,probably Mousehole production

I remember this one. It seemed a tad crude to me + I'm always worried about it surviving the postal system. Large items are a bit of a worry. Hard to get an idea of scale with those pics.

unusual Bill Fisher charger with horsedesign

this is the first dated Bill Fisher piece I have seen 1962

I love the tribal/Picasso influence to these king designs

Hi I have no idea if I have added pictures but I just wondered if anyone knew anything about these guys Made by William Fisher
Thank you

welcome to the forum Xander, I love your barber shop figures and have collected Bill's pottery for many years.

Thank you they are very quirky,

7 inch Mousehole bowl signed by Bill

Dan are they signed WFisher or do my eyes deceive me? so it's not right to call him Will? Or William?

Missed the Barber shop guys. Have I seen a red label before?

yes we have a few red labels posted on the Bill Fisher threads (nobody calls him Will)

I haven't seen this label before so probably not used for long

Can anyone help identify the pattern on this mug? I think it's from Celtic Pottery Mousehole but cant see a similar one anywhere online. Thanks.

yes it's a Mousehole mug, the patterns have no names but most people would say it is part of the 'folk' range

Sweet little pin fish with fish decoration

very rare fish design by Bill Fisher in Mousehole

I like that. Have you just got it Dan? Its funny really, comparing the popularity of Troika and Celtic. I find Celtic much more attractive than Troika Celtic seems to be more romantic, warm and felt with the heart Troika seems to be that much cold and cerebral. Still, we all know which is the more expensive!
