Studio Pottery Vase, Marked With A Seal.

by **Potty** August 29th 2011, 11:27 pm

Hi all,

I like this vase and would be interested to know if anyone knows who the maker may be.

It has a seal that did look to me like an M, but am now thinking it may be an A.

Thanks,

Potty.

Out of interest, with seals like the one used on this vase, does the potter add a little slip to the leather tough body and press it with a seal, a bit like a wax seal on an envelope?

I can't see the pics too well on my phone so I can't be sure but, if the mark is impressed on a tiny piece of clay which is then stuck on the wet pot with slip, it is known as a sprig. Some potters do it that way, Peter Beard is one.

Its a lovely vase. Pity the potter didn't take more care in keeping the glaze off the mark. It could be the bottom of an 'A'.... but it could be a lot of other things too.

Thanks, yeah it could be many things Laughter

I don't know very much about their work but I am wondering if your vase might be by Eddie & Margaret Curtis.

They have a web site, which you can "google" and I think that most of their work is now in porcelain but they have used stoneware in the past and may still do.

Thanks SP I'll go and have a look Happy

I have sent Eddie an email asking if he would mind taking a quick look at my vase.

Thanks again for the clue SP.

P.S. Big Ed, do this think it could be made by them? ( I noticed when looking for items made by them, that you have owned a few pieces)

by **Potty** August 30th 2011, 7:21 pm

He replied to my email (very fast reply too), it was not made by him or his wife and they did not know who made it.

Seem to me amassing rather a collection of pots I really like that I can not attribute Big Laughter

Funny as I thought this one would have been an easy I.D. also.

As you saw it does have similarities to their work but at the moment I can't think of any other possibilities - maybe European he says is desperation?

by **Potty** August 30th 2011, 8:21 pm

Thanks for having a go SP Happy

You could be right about European, though I have a strong feeling it's British to be honest.

I don't mind having unknown pots, I like them just as much Excellent

To me it's a quite well made vase with a really nice shape/glaze, won't be parting with it for some time Laughter

P.S. now all I need is a minimalist style house and it will look great Big Laughter

Thanks Ed, mark looks like it could be her, but so far the work I have seen (online) is nothing like my vase.

by **big ed** August 30th 2011, 8:57 pm
