Title: Old English Potter?
Post by: Tigerchips on August 18, 2008, 01:41:20 PM

For charity.

Has anyone heard of a John Paltrelge, or John Partridge (etc, etc, etc), working in Plymouth. The incised mark reads: "John Paltrelge Bedford Plymouth"

It appears on a very thin red earthernware slipware dish. I've seen them described as Loaf Pans. It has slightly raised large light brown dots in the bowl as decoration.

A bit like this Loaf pan but with a different decoration (http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:rImc0r-Lu7wJ:www.williambunchauctions.com/content/images/040420/DialupCat/InvCat_0112.htm+slipware+%22loaf+pan%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk)

John Pollex used to make traditional English slipware in Plymouth during the 70s-80s...He normally uses/used an impressed seal mark so probably not......?

He's looks a tad young, I was thinking 1800's as it looks very old.  :)
