Poole Pottery 1980 to present day

my newest keeper... come with the original box 16"....

I found this in some poly-beans the other day,an ebay seller must have sent it to me by mistake
has anyone seen these before?

Yes, they were used as invitations to the launch of the Hayward & Atterbury book. Lindsey Stevens painted them.

A great find

They came with various Traditional designs on the face I have a couple but can't remember where I got them from.

my first gala day plate and I'm a little puzzled by the info on the back  

What does 3000 signify? and who was Michelle Catlow?

Pretty much, it's just that inexperienced adults produce results like kids. I know, I have several similar!

The Collectors Club run annual Gala Days and there is usually a hands-on activity. This years Gala Day was actually today when we did fridge magnets in the Delphis style supervised by Carol Cutler and Janet Laird!

I didn't go in 2004 but this looks like a plate with a design prepared by a paintress that has then been coloured in by a club member (Michelle Catlow). You write your name and / or a number on the back so they know who to send the fired item to.

I love the shape and decoration of this very modern, made in Portugal, 'Poole Pottery', obviously it pays homage to the great Guy Sydenham but I know he would have strongly disapproved,
The vase stands at a very impressive 18 inches and is quite a focal point in your average sized room





Made exclusively for John Lewis circa 2011

small studio vase, thrown by Alan White and decorated by Lorna Whitmarsh

But I know nothing of Poole






thanking you all in anticipation

it was made in the last 15 years and decorated by Lorna Whitmarsh but I don't know who designed it

Modern AW Helmet lamp. I can't afford a GS one. I've finally got it wired at the weekend. Got my brother to picked it up for my from Wareham auction as he lives in down the road.

Date? Thanks.

For those of you who are/were members of the Poole Pottery Collectors Club and other keen Poole Pottery collectors - you will be sad to hear that Roger Hartley the foremost expert on Poole Pottery animals and author of the book Poole Pottery Animals has passed away. RIP Roger.

The mark on this 14 cms tall vase appears to suggest early 1950s, would this be right? Any ideas please on style, it appears to be slightly irridescant greeny blue. I can't recall seeing anything similar in this single colour before, is it uncommon or am I just not noticing it?
All thoughts appreciated John

   

Info from DenbyDump: This is a lustre piece from the "Calypso" range 1980s

Not sure which Section...any ideas on Date/Artist etc




Thanking everyone in advance

I think this is one of many sets of plates that were done in the 1980s/90s
with (bought-in) open-stock transfers

Mark 62 ( 1970-1999 ) is often confused with mark 36 (1951-1955 ). Your vase is part of a 1980's range which are rather ubiquitous in fact. See H&A page159

I was doing an antique fair local to where I live yesterday and another stallholder offered me 2 pieces of Poole. I politely declined the first piece as 'Odyssey' pattern is a) too modern and b) horrible. The second piece looked wrong immediately and when I looked at the base it had a fake 'TV studio' mark, smaller and stamped in black over the glaze, the vase itself was about 9" purple with grey to the top half - quite horrible. It probably came from a car boot and the seller probably had no idea what it was, I had to show them a correct studio mark and point out the poor quality. Anyway be careful out there.

I have seen plenty of the fake Poole studio marks, always on pots that don't resemble Poole, the pots have just been bought by crooks and stamped

Interesting, not seen that before.
Was it an ink-stamp Dan (that would rub/scrape off)?
Sounds like the old Troika trick, buy any bit of wierd pot
and then get the magic marker out.

I haven't inspected the marks carefully but they looked like a ceramic paint and not ink.
pooleandpaperweights Ian bought one just to remove it from sale so he's the one to ask
