Here's a very personal insight into the Rylatt's home life, it also shows some really wonderful pieces and aspects of the production process

To be honest I never saw it But I'm not too keen on this mottled effect glazes, I prefer his more monocolour ones. Oh plus I'm spent out after upgrading my mobo/cpu/ram... can't complain about the last ones though, as they did last me nearly 7 years, a long time for pc parts!

   

small lidded pot,probably from Ian's days in Lincoln

Cup or goblet by Ian Rylatt from Hatfield.
Sometimes it is worth buying at a fair just for the story that accompanies the piece. A number of years ago (I forget how many, but it may have been his student years) he’d made a full sized ceramic bassoon which the college (or museum) had bought for their perminant collection. It was made in sections and when dismantled it made up a decanter and 6 cups. Unfortunately a student broke one and he was asked to make a replacement, but try as he might he couldn’t match the bronze glaze, although (I think) he did manage to match the fit. In the end he started from scratch and made a couple more life sized ones. One in matt black was at the show. He was also selling the sections as individual cups, hence this one in the bronze glaze.

great story and a lovely piece

Ian is never short of either

Hopefully this is distinctive enough to ID. Mottled brown glaze, grey band and then brown above and cream inside. Looks more like stoneware I think.
3 impressed marks, one of which is a rectangle  made of 9 smaller rectangles.
