Winchcombe Pottery

Definitely Sid Tustin. Your remarks about lightness are bang on. He was a remarkable potter for many decades. The earthenware makes it quite old, as Winchcombe stopped using Earthenware in the mid 60's.

Thank you for the info, much appreciated. It’s a bit nibbled on the spout but still a privilege to have such a fine piece!

Thanks in advance!

Joe Finch claims otherwise, going by the Facebook post.

Hello,

I wondered if anyone might know the age or glaze type on this piece?

Thank you.

Thank you, Naomi!

Its looks very much Standard ware though. Which they produced for many years, with different glaze options.

Please can anyone tell me about this little pot measures approx 8cm high thanks

Looks like a (messy) Winchcombe mark the other way up.

................ and without its lid.

I've just found its lid it was packed away separately thanks you are right I have now found other examples in the same shape thanks again.

You finding the lid reminds me of a day many years ago when I was in the Winchcombe pottery showroom and someone came in from a local restaurant with a large lid of an item that they had smashed and needed to replace. Winchcombe have made these ranges with different glazes over many years and the person had brought along the lid to match the size of what he required. He did find a casserole and lid exactly the same size and his old lid fitted the new casserole base perfectly, so he still ended up with a spare lid to go with his new lidded casserole dish.

Hi, no problem IDing this jug as  Winchcombe, but I was interested in the significance of the added stamped numbers which I haven’t come across before? Reads 26 and 98. Any thoughts please? Can it help date the jug? Thanks

Is it the date it was made? 02/06/98?

Also I believe Winchcombe pottery was founded in 1926. So might be something to do with that.

A 6 in Sidney Tustin bowl with the usual nibbles.

Hi, just wondered has anyone seen a Winchcombe sake cup before? This is only about 4.5 cm high and 5.5 cm across , very delicate and light work for slipware I think. Did Sid Tustin make many more of these I wonder.

That's what I wondered, the previous owner called it a sake cup, it's too wide for any of the eggs I have , so I don't think egg cup but it's really nice.
