Celtic pottery (Newlyn & Mousehole)

extremely early Bill Fisher piece which predates the use of the name Celtic pottery,at this time Bill and Maggie simply called their pottery 'the studio Mousehole'

and just when I thought I had seen all the Mousehole designs these two turn up!

these arrived today - I'm in love
earlier pieces perhaps?

two more pics - the jug is not crooked - it's just my rubbish picture from the back for some reason.

back to less rare Newlyn production

I think Maggie made these

ooh thanks Dan - I had another look back through the thread again, and then having seen the early piece with the Mousehole label I had another look at the set. One of the mugs has the remains of the ochre paper label. I can't see any signs of a Maggie signature but the decor looks as though it was done by her having seen her initials on the base of the piece posted earlier in the thread - tenuous link perhaps but ...

not tenuous in my opinion m, these pieces were certainly made by either Bill or Maggie (possibly both) but as far as I know there were no other people working with them at this stage

I saw that piece a while ago looking for something else. It seems from this that Maggi and Ev designed the Folk range as well as Medallion and it also seems that there is another range called Celtic. Have I understood that correctly? If so, then does my black and white set fall under the Folk range and was it therefore designed by Maggi and Ev from 1968 or later?

or is it not 'Folk' range - I guess it must have come earlier than 1968 given the label link to the mug with the Mousehole pottery label. Therefore perhaps not at that time called Folk but possibly a precursor to what became the Folk range?

Ev came on the scene years after your pottery was made m
