Re: Robin Welch
Never seen that type of decoration before, philpot, so I imagine it wasn't popular at the time.

Re: Robin Welch
These came from the time when you might say Robin Welch ran a studio production pottery. Nearly all jollied. They do seem to have done fair amount of specialist 'souvenir' work as well.

Re: Robin Welch
Yes, they are uniformal, but the quality is fabulous.
I also have a mug impressed with Bressingham Gardens - Diss Norfolk and once had a Cambridge tankard.
I wonder if he got commissions via word-of-mouth, or if he hawked his ware.

Re: Robin Welch
It might well be word of mouth or advertising. His pottery was in a fairly remote rural setting. A few miles from, Diss. 20 miles from Bury St Edmunds, 15-miles or so from Norwich. Not the sort of place you get a lot of passing custom.
Equally of course, he established a reputation as an important potter quite early on.

Re: Robin Welch
It's part of his early standard ware range

Re: Robin Welch
What 'standard ware means, Is that for several years after he started his Suffolk pottery in 1965, he had a team of assistants making uniform pottery in thrown, jigger and jolleyed techniques. This produced a substantial amount of identical items, over a fairly wide range.
So pottery with this sort of mark on is probably not made by Robin Welch himself. But by a person in a team of potters. In a similar way that an item labelled Bernard Leach St Ives standard ware was not made by Bernard Leach.
Below is a link to page 4 of our Robin Welch thread. Scroll down and she will see a photo of a leaflet advertising the types of Stadard ware they mase.
