Jill Pryke, Sussex, JP mark

These are a couple of miniature vases (H: 2 1/2" high; 1 3/4" dia.) with incised white decoration on a blue ground. One has a label for "The Craftsman Gallery" at Ditchling, which appears to no longer be there. The mark is "JP".

(Replaced the defunct Sussex Guild link with the Somerset Guild. They say Pryke has been potting for 30 years but that must have been carried over from the old bio because she’s been potting a lot longer than that - Admin)

Not sure whether she's still potting in Hassocks , she may be in Dorset now ??

Wow that's different from her usual bucolic decoration. Would never have guessed with the label !

Jill Pryke, Sussex, potting since mid 1960s. I like them but she’s not well known.
This group might be 1970s. All earthenware. Mark - incised name or JP on small vase.
I thought I’d put these pieces on here just in case someone finds a piece marked JP in the future with no label.
