Moffat Pottery, Gerard T. Lyons

Moffat pottery in scotland was started by Gerard T. Lyons 1938- in the border region dumfries, pieces are impressed Moffat ,Scotland and rarely with GT lyons inscribed or impressed , I have a large collection in Scotland , pieces are very cheap to buy from charity shops etc . an underrated potter who has pieces exhibited next to Leach, Hamada , Rooke etc.

There is a piece of Lyons Pottery 4 foot tall in paisley museum , they also have a good display on show of work by Bernard Leach , Hans Coper , Waistel Cooper etc.

Rarely signed , Gerard Lyons

Thanks m , yes they do look nice together , I am just trying to concentrate on the Gerard Lyons ones now ,

Nice piece signed by G Lyond 12" high

So many gorgeous pots-so little space in my wee bugalow
I can't see a single piece there that I wouldn't give house-room to.
And true to form, Mrs. Primate has just looked over my shoulder and said "eurgh, that tall one's not even straight". Philistine!!

yes

I recently purchased a large bowl with the inscripion on the base, scratched into the wet clay:
"Aug 03 1968 G Lyons"
How do I know if this is genuine ?

Post a picture (of the item and the base) and I'm sure Ed will be able to help

Yup as potty says , Pic needed, but sounds right .

Thanks Potty & Big Ed for your prompt replys, please see the pics:
