Yes, it's signed C.H. Brannam Pottery. Right color clay, right colour glazes, and the usual glazed base. Ticks all the boxes.

Thanks Naomi x I wasn't sure as never seen anything much like him x thought there might have been a date but can't read it for the life of me  

There is another model on ebay dated 1900

Thanks big ed xx i'll have a look, not quite sure what to do with him as I do like him and he looks as though he's had a few touch ups? nothing major though xx maybe might stick him on Ebay for some Christmas pennies? xxx Ive seen the one on Ebay, but anyone any idea what kind of money I should ask? xxxx

This one has incised SW ( Stanley Williams ) who worked at brannams straight from school he was there c1890- 1898, this piece dated 1898.

I suspect it's a c.1920s piece, or earlier if it only has the Royal Barum Ware stamp.

In 1886 Charles registered the name Royal Barum Ware and ensured it was sold by several London firms including Liberty. Charles handed the business over to his sons, Charles William Brannam, and John Woolacott (Jack) Brannam, in 1913. In 1914 C.H. Brannam and Sons became a limited liability company

Although the images from this thread have disappeared you can see one of the black ink stamps if you google images of royal barum ware backstamps. It was a circular with Royal Barum Ware around the top and England at the bottom with C. H. Brannam Ltd in the centre.

Therefore I stick with what I said above, as marks of 1920 and earlier were impressed or inscribed.

I'd always understood that mark was used in the 50s and 60s.

Nice to see a selection Ch Brannam on the web although we also have some William Baron mixed through these pictures. Same town different maker,

Large CH Brannam jug with fish.
Signed on the base, and dated 1891. Also numbered WB 134 - WB stands for William Baron who made it at Brannam before setting up his own pottery in 1894

That is superb..

Holds 4 pints, Brin

Even "Superber" !!

Do you think this is a Brannam or a Baron ju? The glaze is unusual for Barnstaple pots but the clay is right by the looks of it.

Definitely Brannam, but yes, the glaze is unusual.

A later piece. I've seen them in the blue, but not see the blue mixed with green

Very unusual. I would have guessed 1930's by the glaze.
