Title: Stoneware footed bowl with illegible mark
Post by: Anne E.B. on August 30, 2008, 08:29:00 PM

Any ideas about this stoneware footed bowl would be appreciated ;)  Its got a grainy textured matt glazed interior.  There's a mark impressed on the base but I can't make it out with any certainty.  It might be a letter d followed by an a or an o but I can't tell.  May be someone recognises the style and/or mark?

More likely to be 'dp'.

'p' for pottery

Dalton Pottery, Cumbria.
Denby Pottery, Derbyshire.
Denmead Pottery, Hants.
Dovestone Pottery, Lancs.
Duckpool Cottage Pottery, Devon.

Some might not exist any more.  Will get back if I find anything remotely similar ;)

Dovestone Pottery made indoor fountains so I doubt it's them.

Have you seen the Dalton Pottery clock with the nude couple?  :o ;D

Just widening my options.  It could be the letter d and b.  This brought up this potter - David Brown http://www.dbpottery.co.uk/index.html  His mark is shown top left hand corner and he makes stoneware pots using  sand and grog and matt/textural glazes in a range of blues/greens.   With a bit of imagination ( :-\) it could be his mark.  What does anyone think?  May be my imagination is running away with me... ???

I think you could be right there Anne
David says"I also make a small range of every day practical ware, in a variety of blue and green colours, mainly mugs, jugs, bowls and teapots."
