Anybody recognise this mark , it is on the follwing wood fired pots and also on a test piece that has sea shell impressed marks , reminds me of the nic collins svend bayer things that the gnarley dudes were doing , I bought the lot very cheaply and would love to know maker

The similarities are there of the powdermill pottery , but as to who or where I dunno

This the test piece with shell impressed

I keep looking but still have no idea who they are by. The clay body mix looks very Nic/Svend.

Nic Collins is a very friendly chap so maybe a couple of images via email to him might bring a result.

Thanks John , I thought if anyone would know it would be you , I have sent Nic some images , no reply as yet

I have had a kind reply from Nic Collins and he has told me they were made by Tim Gent , who worked at the powdermills pottery after Nic Left , so good result

I know the name but hadn't seen any of his work or his mark. Potters are generally obliging folk, as Nic has shown.

Yes , nearly every potter I have emailed has sent back a kind response and Tim gent's work is new to me as well , can't find much on the net about him .

Wood fired beaker, grey-green glaze inside- maybe ash glaze.
Impressed mark, maybe DG
13 cm tall

Nice Woodfired beaker with natural ash glaze. I don’t recognise the mark; possibly AG. It might be from France. La Borne is one of the co-operatives for woodfiring potters

I think AG is clearer to me now

Brilliant. The beakers gone now but it’s a local mark to know. Thank you.
