Poole Pottery 1960-1980 Part One

diameter 35cm, ros sommerfelt
i like it....

I have two items painted by Jean Millership and wonder if anyone has a shape 49 dish or 3 plate etc with the same colours/design....



Or do you have any 'matching' Delphis items that were clearly painted around the same time?

I have a 49er and a shape 3 with similar designs although different colourways:

That top one is very much like my two... I like it!

And the 8" plate... I have one a bit like yours. The brush strokes seem more controlled. Do you think it's earlier?

Here's a seven-sided plate that has similar colours (plum/turquoise) but with some purple glaze loosely applied on top.

It has Pamela Bevens' early mark.

i have just been clearing my mums house and found this can anyone tell me anything about it, (Tried to load image last time and it didn't work - sorry, trying again)

Delphis spear plate decorated by Janet Laird (1970-1974)

I've seen a list of Delphis shapes with production dates given but doubt its accuracy.

For example, it states shape 49 was made from 1969 to 1980 - when 49s were evidently made much earlier than that.

Does anyone know when the hand-thrown planter shapes 78, 79 & 80 were made? The list I've seen says between 1966-1968.

Also, shape 653 planter. The list states 1969-1970.

Here is a shape 653 with no numbnber on the base - just a blue Poole mark.

probably predates the numbering system ,from the decor I would say very late 1950's

I did wonder if it was early/pre-Delphis, but also if it could be Aegean.

no the blue mark shows it's too early for Aegean

The shape is 1950's (653 is 6" tall, 652 is 4 1/2" not sure which this actually is?). Designed by Alfred Read & Guy Sydenham 1953 - 1957 according to H&A.

This dates to 1966 /7 though because the magnolia base glaze was only used until Jan 1967 but that backstamp was used from May 1966.

I'm not sure what you'd call it - it is not a Delphis shape but the glazes are similar to late studio pieces so I guess it's part of the evolution. I've only ever seen a handful and they all seem to be the same period so I guess they might have made a batch just before they finalised the Delphis shapes.

Here's one I had

Thanks for the details!

What's the date of this planter?...

It's a shape 79 but with no number on the base. It has a similar blue transfer to the pot above.

This 653 is Delhis

The planter is 1966/7.

From the glazes the 653 is c. 1970, which suggests LG is not Linda Garwood. Maybe Lynn Gregory? Anyway, there must have been a second batch!

It does seem as though the shape was brought back some years after those early, pre-Delphis ones.

I have posted a pic of these before but I found a much clearer pic in my archives ... all 49ers ...

When i see a collection like that it does make me wonder why i never collected Poole , then again its never too late.

I can thouroughly recommend it Eclectic ...

They look great and I'm not a Poole person

Thx Potty ... these ones I haven't posted before - pic isn't too good either I'm afraid ...

I know it's Poole Pottery but could you please shed some light as to the pattern and maybe the signature please !, the dish is approx 15cm square. I know it also looks discoloured to the base but it looks to be the Orange colour coming through probably due to the firing process !. . Thank you. .
