There were two Huge pots. This was the story of them. Illustrated in the two photos after this one bayer - Svend Bayer - Page 2 Img_4519

Truly huge!

And its twin in size!

The four black-ish bowls were my favourite. They had fish inside them

So how much (circa) was the white bird dish on the right?

by **NaomiM** August 19th 2017, 9:17 pm

Like the dish with the fish it believe it was already marked as sold on Friday. The four blackish bowls were £160 each

Lol, tbh I find it a bit limited. Give me woodfired and shino any time.

Looks familiar design but unfortunately no mark and bizzarely a lot of glue on the bottom - does anyone have any ideas.

can anyone shed any more light?

by **NaomiM** June 22nd 2018, 10:21 pm

There was a potter at Farnham Art in Clay a few years ago, making pots that were very similar to Cardew’s pieces, and he wasn’t marking them. I suspect it’s one of his, but I can’t remember his name.

by **NaomiM** June 22nd 2018, 10:25 pm

Also worth checking Svend Bayer’s bird dishes to see ifs it’s a similar style

by **MCWebs** June 22nd 2018, 10:28 pm

its a shame that most sites (apart from pinterest) dont show the bottom = not easy to match things up

by **MCWebs** June 22nd 2018, 10:32 pm

Thanks N - It looks exactly like a few of Svend Bayers examples so i'm quite excited - thnks so much

Seen and have had a number of these Svend Bayer bird dishes. Interesting. The decoration looks right, but its the base that would worry me. It looks a bit scruffy, and the clay finish doesn't look quite right. Bayer's bases are nearly always immaculate. Where that bottom brown line joins is not finished off is not quite perfect.

Difficult one.

by **22 Crawford St.** June 23rd 2018, 12:51 pm

Could that glue not be a plate hanger?

by **studio-pots** June 24th 2018, 7:34 pm

I agree with philpot's comment about the base but I think it is likely to be by Svend. Let's say that I wouldn't bet against it.

Oddly I bought one rather similar in a charity shop on Saturday and was just going to post it here. 18.5cm diameter. Unmarked.

To compare, one sold by Toovey's as by Bayer:

mmmmm,,,,,
These are genuinely 'RARE'. They were done by Svend Bayer at the very start of his career. End of his apprenticeship at Wenford and starting out on his own. At Hatfield last year Svend Bayer was selling a substantial number of the pots that his mother had kept from the early part of his career. As mother do! Anyways, this illustration is from that sale. Leave you to decide whether these two are kosher!

by **philpot** July 2nd 2018, 5:29 pm

And another one from the same sale.

Chunky (to put it mildly) beaker made by Svend Bayer at Wenford Bridge. Impressed with "SB" and Wenford Bridge seal marks. Nasty long hairline not visible here.
