Doug Jones 1943-
Worked for alan Wallwork in 1964, now at floating world Pottery herefordshire.

I have seen that quite a few ceramic artists are working at that floating world pottery,I think it's worth a bit of investigation

I had never heard of it until now , but I am pleased to have got a reply as the two pieces only cost a tenner and are in perfect nick .

if you look at skay's post on the art in clay event,a few of the exhibitors are based at floating world pottery

Cheers Dan , thanks for that .

Just had a couple of emails from Doug Jones , he said the stem cup(10"x10") sold in 1986 for £112.50p, and is now worth £250-350, the plates sold for £15 and are still £15 , he made the plates through sufference and sold them to chinese restuarants in london way back , glazed is based on ming type, he cannot work out how I got them for a tenner , nor can I now , I suppose I better take them off the windowsill

I know how

YOU'RE LUCKY!

I likes being Lucky i do.
