Welsh Preserve Pot FP mark - early David Frith, Denbigh Wales
I thought that I had already posted this but can't find it here so reposting and hoping don't have 2 show up!!
I an hoping to ID this preserve pot/sugar bowl. It has a faded paper label which appears to read ???????????????? POTTERY DENBIGH WALES and an impressed seal which I am reading as FP. I feel that the seal is familiar but I may be imagining that
I would be grateful for any ideas on this

I think this might be a David and Margaret Frith pottery mark

Re: David Frith & Margaret Frith - Brookhouse Pottery
I did wonder that but all the pieces I had seen were marked "dfp" rather than "fp". However the lettering is so similar I tend to agree with you.
I have sent an email to David Frith so hopefully may get some clarification, if so will post.

A long shot but there's a Mark Fitzgerald, but he's in the US

Edited to say, probably early David Frith Pottery

I did say I was going to sell my collection, however when I popped into a shop today I had to treat myself to this beautiful rectangular box marked with the Brookhouse mark but no potters mark. I would like to think it is David Frith? what do you nice people think? The sizes are approximately 22cm by 8.5cm
Re: David Frith & Margaret Frith - Brookhouse Pottery
A porcelain charger by Margaret Frith. This dates to around 2000. The mark is a bit indistinct because of the glaze.

Ask them. They may well make a replacement

There are also several shorter videos on youtube worth looking at.

Great film. Saw a discussion recently about whether David or Margaret decorated each other's pots but it seems they keep their work fairly separate, and she makes the smaller pieces that act as kiln fillers between David's large pots.

shhhsh forgot.....
Mine is like ... pizza without olives, needs a lid. The only thing that put me off is who the **** uses ginger jars...Now I like to use my stuff do my kitchen if full of Briglin storage jars with cork lids etc, but waht could you store in these ?
Ashes?
My is Jar - overall 165mm wide, 190mm high
Opening - bit at top is max 72 mm tapering to 67mm at the top with an opening of 58mm glazed top 82mm dia.
So strange that there are other missing lids. Must mean that they were used and broken? Or MIL came round and picked up and turned over - lid drops off?

Re: David Frith & Margaret Frith - Brookhouse Pottery
Egg cups possibly? They look quite early, quite simplistic with none of the superb glazing that David is famed for.The sort of thing you could produce a great number of to sell quickly.
