I think it is the personal mark of Anne Whittlesey, who left Winchcombe and started her own pottery along with David Wilson, also ex-Winchcombe, in Somerset.

Winchcombe pottery, Sidney Tustin?
Could someone please confirm this is Sidney Tustin's work please, I thought at first the seal was SJ but now think ST. Any idea of date please 60s/70s?
Thanks John

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
It is by Sid and if it is red earthenware, which the images suggest, then this ceased to be produced from the early 1960s.
The decoration does suggest the end of the earthenware period.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
We bought this approaching 30 years ago. Ray Finch was there potting at the time. We stood & watched for a good while & he was totally focussed on what he was doing. He paused & my wife asked if she could take his photo. His response was a terse "Depends how much you want it." and he carried on working. Nice shot!

Winchcombe, but who is potter please.
Hi
This has the Winchcombe mark with another set of letters (ST) vertically to the left. Probably not Sidney Tustin as the mark I've seen attributed to him the letters are side by side.
There is an image of what looks like the same mark in the Winchcombe thread but it doesn't appear to have been identified. So any ideas gratefully received
Thanks

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Sidney Tustin but it is a very unusual mark. I don't recall seeing it before.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Sid didn't retire until 1978 and they stopped making earthenware in 1963 so he made many thousands of stoneware pots. I would guess that the mark is from the early 1960s - there was a period when the pottery was producing stoneware and earthenware.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
Thanks for the info SP, I have a lot of S.T. but no stoneware, funny the mark is all-in-one, rather than
separate seals, never seen that either.
separate seals, never seen that either.
Re: Winchcombe Pottery
I haven't seen the mark either. The WP part is like that used by Ray Finch in the early 1960s hence my guess at the date.
Although he will have thrown thousands of stoneware items, I would imagine that a large proportion would have just had the Winchcombe mark, as they would have been items for the various standard ware ranges.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
After me saying I hadn't seen a Sidney Tustin signed stoneware piece, I picked
one up today! Nice ash glaze, but unlike Lindylou's similar pot, this one has the
more conventional 2 seal marks.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
They are by Don Jones, who worked at the pottery from 1950 until 1971 but potted from 1958 onwards. I suspect they are from the end of his time there, as for much of the Sixties the policy was for pots to be anonymous. He potted at home after leaving Winchcombe.

Re: Winchcombe Pottery
I tend to use the subheading when items are identified but no dedicated thread exists, if I then notice there are several pieces existing I create a thread and transfer all the data
