Rushton pottery (Isle of Man)

Thankyou all,
Thats a great start, and much appreciated.

There is also a very faint black stamp which is difficult to decipher. This sits under the "CELTIC" incised mark on the sugar pot only.

Looks like R*****C Pottery followed by an indistinguishable longer word, probably the location? far too faint to photo with macro though- Will get researching....

Thanks Sharron

definately not Celtic pottery Newlyn,they don't look like Celtic pottery Ireland either

possibly Celtic is the design rather than the pottery

The design is probably based on the celtic knot , the piece with holes has what looks like a turtle , anywho , With the word celtic ,it must have someything to do with ,either Ireland , scotland , wales or cornwall .............

or a rubbish football team

I think they may be Welsh,I can see a dragon in the pot with the holes

Now your treading on dangerous water DTM

Back to my pots!
It does resemble a tutrle!

Mike has since remembered that the lady we had it from, said she bought it years ago from the Isle of Man. So we have now, (rightly or wrongly) deduced from the faint stamp which begins with an "R" that it may be Rushton Pottery? Its certainly seems to be a seven letter word beginning with "R" and the next word fits "POTTERY". Might they have made a Celtic range in their lifetime? Think it has closed now- does this jog any ones memory banks?

Looks very similar to Rushton pottery IOM "Celtic" pattern.

Most of these have "CELTIC" in capitals impressed on the bottom, so for ages these
were confused with, and of course sold as, Celtic pottery of Cornwall.
Eventually I saw one with a sticker aswell, which gave the pottery name and
ended the confusion.

100% Rushton Pottery.
