Mick & Sheila Casson

Michael Casson At an auction a few years ago. There was a lot there to see!

Michael Casson salt glaze jug. If I remember rightly, a lot of this collection came from the estate sale of Harry Horlock Stringer's wife.

Another Michael Casson piece from the same sale as above.

Large Pot bellied salt glaze vase  from Michael Casson. This was the type of vase that he was especially famous for. From the same auction sale as a bove.

The market in Michael Casson is quite choosy, which indicates a small pool of collectors. The Salt glaze wide bellied jugs sell well, as do the tall ones. Equally the modern sgraffito bowls known as the 'swimmers' do well. But as you say Naomi, chargers tend to be less popular. Another place to look at for prices is Maak, a high end online studio pottery auction house. Just Google it.

Davee's Wobage marked pots are interesting. They were only used for the first two years at Wobage, 1977-79. It was only from 1979 that he started the Stoneware and Salt glazing for which he is famed for. Very much a transition mark.

I have seen several Mick Casson pieces with just the written mark. Mores than any other potter. This one looks completely kosher!

14” Tall studio vase, WS crescent or SM crescent mark
Celadon glaze I think with nice wax resist decoration.
Heavily potted
Couldn’t see mark in the book.

Of course it is. I was thinking of Michael Carson with the crescent but knew it wasn’t his mark. Thank you.

Any idea on a date? And how can I tell if it’s stoneware or porcelain?
