Simon Rich

This is a really stunning colour and I love the matt glaze.

took a bit of doing I tell you. First of all I thought it might have been Usch Spettigue as the glaze used is very similar. But I emailed and it was a no. So.... I turned the sig upside down and then searched all 'S' potters first and last name... eventually I realised Simon, Narbeth and hey presto. Obviously I have too much time on my hands at the mo

There is more information on there about Simon Rich also stating he trained with Alan Caiger-Smith at Aldermaston Pottery in the 60's and with a range of his recent work.

I have one the same colour and I agree the colours are beautfiful, my husband says I am a magpie, always attracted to anything shiny

I bought this handled casserole pot about four months ago at a charity shop for £2.50. Actually there was another one for sale (same shape) but I preferred the colour and style of decoration on this one. I made enquiries on studio pottery websites and I thought the initials SR matched Simon Rich but my casserole pot has a new smell about it and I wondered whether it was genuine. It's nice to know Mr Rich remains in production. Has anyone got another casserole or other like articles similar to mine?

Large Simon Rich Raku pot. 10 inches high. Believe this to be one of his earlier pieces.
Anyone able to put a date on this?

Hello, Your pot was made by ex-Aldermaston potter Simon Rich. His mark is sometimes mistaken for that of Stanislas Reychan. Hope this helps:)

Thanks for that information, much appreciated....

The decoration looks very similar to a Simon Rich vase I listed

Bryony, the daughter of Simon Rich, now runs Narberth Pottery which was originally set up by her father in 1971. Her pottery is very similar to Simon's, but is stamped BR on the underside.

Could this jug be by Stephanie Newton, the mark is the same as the mark in Yates-Owen & Fournier but with dot's before and after the initials.
Your comments would be appreciated.

Might be Simon Rich

Thanks NaomiM, I think you are correct.
Must be an early piece , nothing like his current work.

Yes, his early work was very different from now

I've just bought this lovely little vase but am unsure of the makers mark. The only SR potter i can find is Simon Rich. Anyone any ideas?

It looks very like Simon Rich's early work. The mark isn't quite the same but it may just be because it's an early version too.

Thanks Naomi, that's great. Having looked at that link i think you're right.
