Thanks Ed, only seen the hand etched ones but I guess this was made by being squashed into a mould.

An early piece, with the hessian imprint, very nice.

Hi Denby, could you give me a rough estimation of when it may have been made?

I've found George Cook in the book (cooking the book) Oh dear Embarrassed

But not much info' there.

Would this have been made by George?

I always understood the slipware was more the 50s,
and the sgraffito more the 60s. (closed 1966).

by **denbydump** February 19th 2015, 4:22 pm

A couple of early slipware dishes, with the "mesh" imprinted back. Not uncommon, but all
unique in their own way.

This Ambleside design is the most sought after.

I rather like those mugs ... the top one sort of reminds me of Henri Rousseau ...

Yay. I missed the date on this item when I saw the photos on ebay. Not only is it signed x2 but there is a 57.

Lovely bowl Crawford.

I noticed someone was selling photos recently of cook's pottery birds .

Has anyone ever seen one of the Cook birds in the flesh.

by **22 Crawford St.** April 12th 2015, 5:38 pm

Zip I noticed a collector advertising for info on ebay. Was that him? He got the elbow.

Not seen any birds? Did you see a photo?

by Guest April 12th 2015, 5:47 pm

Only saw the photos on the screen, would love to see/find one of the birds though.

by **22 Crawford St.** April 12th 2015, 5:52 pm

Zip - grab everything you see online with Evernote (PC/iPhone/Android) - it's free! Photos can be so useful and if you have a smartphone then you can check them out on the move or from the pc.

by Guest April 27th 2015, 6:58 pm

Approx 5" x 4.5"

by **denbydump** April 27th 2015, 7:39 pm

Nice piece Zip, a very unusual design.

by **22 Crawford St.** April 27th 2015, 10:51 pm

NO NO NO, KEEP KEEP KEEP, HOARD HOARD HOARD!

So we can all be envious Zip.

Originally from ebay. Bought as Ambleside. It has a cheesecloth fabric like texture on the reverse. Otherwise unmarked.

Could be. Also has a Tibor Reich and Peter Wright look to it.
Love it.

by **denbydump** September 20th 2015, 10:07 pm

I think it must be right, that pie-crust edge is typical, along with the back,
like my dishes here,

Nice bit, wonder why it's not marked?

by **NaomiM** September 20th 2015, 10:35 pm

Looks like it had an old label stuck to it. Maybe clay was too dry to sign.

by **22 Crawford St.** September 20th 2015, 11:21 pm

But still some doubt? Again it a probable but not 100%er.

TY for the replies.. I'll live in hope of someone finding something similar that's marked.

Their stuff is interesting
