Audrey Martyn - Dove Pottery ?

On Wednesday I went out and even went into an Antique Centre!!! It was a nostalgic trip as I used to have some cabinet space there when it first opened around 20 years ago.

I spot this vase and wonder if it was, as stated on the paper labels.

It is made of earthenware and looks late 1950s and the painted mark looks arty. I know that it isn't the mark "in the book" but I thought it looked authentic enough.

So I really took the photographs for Naomi for interest/discussion.

Not a name I’ve come across before. I guess it’s an exhibition label.

I wonder if it’s one of “Peripatetic Gallery”’s labels

I had never heard of her but the Studio Potters' Mark book says THE DOVE POTTERY painted. The labels might have been put on by the dealer but a while ago (or the previous owner) - it had a tag with a new price £22 T2

This is another Dove Pottery. I suspect the dealer was just guessing on the Slipware pot. If it’s Dove Pottery then there should be Pottery written under the labels. Otherwise it’s probably the potter’s name.

You could be correct, Naomi, but it did look British.
