Tremaen Pottery (Cornwall)

One of my favourite potteries, created by Peter Ellery, first Marazion then on to Newlyn, Cornwall.

A lampbase depicting Newlyn Harbour

Large open necked vase

Lampbases.

I didn't realise Tremaen pottery made pieces like that,I'll have to investigate.
I have a few Marazion pots somewhere...

Three large Tremaen vases

Tremaen large Bowjey Cow Parsley Lamp Base

Tremaen inverted numbers 18" lampbase

Hepworth inspired Tremaen lampbase

large and heavy Tremaen lampbase

Tremaen dishes

Tremaen small lampbases and rare candle holder

Large ploughed field lampbase

Tremaen moonstones and pebble vases

Tremaen large 'runic' lampbase

Medium Tremaen highly glazed lampbase

Bought from Glasgow antique centre I have to assume this was original shade a bit tattty and Naff , but deffo same period .

Here's a piece I've had for about 20 years.

Virtually identical molding on both sides.


The base has the remains of brown felt which has been removed.
No idea how/why it has St Ives on the base?

I see the pottery was sold from a shop in St. Ives, so perhaps someone just remembered it was bought in St. Ives. Or, perhaps someone removed the felt hoping to read Troika and finding nothing decided to add St. Ives in the hope of fooling a potential buyer ? who knows, All I know is that it is there

Typical, I have this for 20 years knowing nothing about it, other than that it was Tremaen. Then within a few minutes of posting the pic's I decide to do a bit of further reading and discover that it is a Geevor Rectangular Slab Vase produced aprox 1973-1974

sponged blue background and shaped like Celtic Mouseole but carved fish decoration which reminds me of Tremar 

Nice fish, Dan

The design looks a little scandi...

thanks Rita.
Yes it does look like a Scandinavian fish but landed in Cornwall
