i know! and it's such a small little pot - can't imagine stuffing it with a big joint of meat, must be for off-cuts.

Hi

A little 5 inches across and 3.25 inches tall bowl. The decoration is saying Aldermaston to me however it is not signed to base. Base has a raised rim with a swirl inside.

Could anyone indentify the maker/artist please.

Yes it's by one of the Aldermaston potters, although, without a mark it's difficult to say by who, or if it was made before or after Aldermaston closed.
Possibly Ursula Waechter or Laurence McGowan

Edgar Campden cereal bowl. Not sure what all the other marks are around the AC monogram, or why he'd bother on what is otherwise a very ordinary little bowl.

ALDERMASTON MARKS
Hi all, couldn't help noticing the aldermaston marks page from the book is shown twice. I don't have the
book, but I wondered if there was actually another page, but page one was posted twice by mistake?

is the list of the ones I have that are not shown.

DAVIES Sam 1987-91

DAVIS Charlotte

HARKNESS Juliet 1969-72

HAMID Mohamed 1983-86

HAZELDEN Andrew 1984-93

McDONNELL Myra 1992-

MICHAEL Kristine 1992

MIDDLETON Simon 1976-80

NERGER Silke 1991-

O'CONNOR Jane (nee FOLLETT) 1978-80

O'GORMAN Mary 1985-89

PILVEN Peter 1980-81

I think it was meant for Pork dripping (as opposed to Beef dripping)

Jane O'Connor ( not Edgar Campden )

The circular part of the mark is in 2 separate arcs which was a characteristic of Janes'. Also I note the design is floral, which was a theme that Jane pursued when she did her own stuff at Aldermaston.

She would have made it in 1979 or very early in 1980. (not 1978, when she started, as she was probably not let loose on such pieces until she got into the swing of things)

The decoration looks right, but I can't seem to narrow down the mark.

I think they're still as obtuse as ever, Denby :)

Well any info is always useful. I've amended my alphabetical list now, (60 assistants!).

It can be downloaded from here (4Kb RTF file) if anyone would like a copy.

Two finds, a lustre David Tipler (61-75) and a dated 1960 ACS tall goblet in pastel colours. I've worked out how to colour match photos in Photoshop - it takes time but it's worth the effort.

Just a couple, do you realise how many banana boxes of studio I have in the attic?
It would take me days to find the other bits! These were to hand...
