Poole Pottery up to 1959 & Traditional

 SK Persian deer design

Dan, my mum had one of those - 50's? is it for sale?

yes it was made in the 1950's and yes it is for sale (if I can find it)

What do the letters say? S/?

s/pe
s

that last s might be a 5

I believe that means simplified form of PE pattern which will be part of the floral range of designs I would guess. The other mark could be the painters monogram

A beautful large unglazed stoneware jug, a fiver on the boot a few wees ago, yes a hairline, but when will I see another?
Decorated by Lily Pedley 1920s.

here is my piece that i picked up in auction last week for £75 . poole freeform vase shape number 725 in the GBA pattern or basket pattern . this stands approx 8" tall

A "BLUE POOL" 13 in charger. Printed mark BLUE POOL and incised in capitals under
the glaze POOLE ENGLAND and a shape number 252. Only one piece in the book,
and very little info, never seen another bit.

1920s "Chinese Blue" 9 in high vase, shape 970.

wow! you have some really rare pieces

Here's an odd thing. Stoneware plate 8 in dia, rather heavy, somewhat crudely decorated
for Poole, with thick applied slip. Maybe a trial, but it has a shape number 282, and a
pattern code, possibly JK, and possibly a monogram on top of it, a bit hard to decipher.
Mark 15, (1922-34).

This 361 dish has what appears to be a decorators mark which I believe may be Cynthia Parr or Patricia Brown both dating to 1950s, would this be correct? It also has painted marks UF W, what would these denote?
As always all thoughts much appreciated, John

     

the other 3 (ufw ) are the design code and was used in 1956/57

Thanks Dan, would this date suggest Patricia Brown as decorator? Was it common for decorators to use same marks?

Patricia Brown worked at Poole 56/62 so quite likely
2 or 3 pairs of paintresses shared a mark but it wasn't common

Nice pick-up Naomi, I bet not many of those have survived intact.

The seller knew it was Poole but thought it was a fairly recent one. Until Dan Id-ed it i didn't realise what a bargain I'd got. :)

Is This 50's...Ruth Paveley ??

a tad out of focus Brin

This is known as the "tears" pattern designed by Ruth Paveley in 1958.

These looked early.

1920s unglazed stoneware items, never seen a plant pot.

Shape 561, RX pattern, decorated by Eileen Prangnell,1924-37

Vase is RU pattern, but can't really make out the shape number or signature.
