Re: Ambleside Pottery
now now you two! If you are going to squabble about it, I will buy the bird as I live in the correct part of Berkshire

Re: Ambleside Pottery
Well as the saying goes all is fair in Love, War and pottery buying
I am the only local with a fair Cook collection as posted
I'm still actually sulking about a piece of Scandi last month - I've waited years for one to come up and it sat a £20 for ages and I was outbid even though I bid double what the last one went for and it went to USA. You can tell because the postage changed to US.

Re: Ambleside Pottery
Thank you all for your interest - I am away for a few weeks and will have a think about what I will do about the bird when I am back

Re: Ambleside Pottery
If you sell on eBay then you can list it as collection only.

Re: Ambleside Pottery
What is you opinion of the slipware? I have to say it is not my favorite form his work
Re: Ambleside Pottery
I really like it and it’s mostly early……and Eva Mackay did quite a bit I believe…It’s all part of the story and evolution of Cook and the pottery….I meant to add that I read a post about the “Puritans” design on this thread….that design was created by a Mr Price I cannot think of his first name….

Footage of Ambleside Pottery
There's a video (unfortunately no sound) of George Cook at work on the new BBC rewind service. I thought people may be interested.

Re: Ambleside Pottery
Had to chuckle at the 'ConteNt' warning at the start of that. REMEMBER, WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING IS PART OF THE PAST....

2 months……your a hard task master …..nice vase I have sold similar piece with that colour background but that’s a new design which is really nice….it doesn’t need a mark as it’s signed Ambleside “cook” all over it….

Re: Ambleside Pottery
September then?
For the record and if any more pop up
There is a stenciled Museum number on the base. Provenance: The Derbyshire Museums Service, which from 1936 to about 1980 built a collection of art and other items for mobile use in schools and colleges throughout Derbyshire. The collection was curated for many years by Barbara Winstanley, and it was in the 1960s that it appears that it was adding studio pottery to its catalogue.

Re: Ambleside Pottery
I would never have recognised it if the mark was not there but it does say 50s to me. I wonder if people in the future will be able to say that there was a recognisable 'style' for the 2020s or 1990s I doubt it.
