Tintagel Pottery jug>
-
Some more Tintagel, these from the St. Nectans studio.
-
Is TC's St Nectans as well? :pst: TC what does your bottom look like? ;D
-
It probably wasn't marked Anne, it's long gone too.
-
No worries, I figured afterwards you'd have mentioned a mark if there was one. ;)
-
Indeed i would. :)
-
I'm surprised they haven't increased in value much.
-
Value's such a funny thing isn't it? Some people pay silly money for things I'd not give house room to yet there are really nice things that sell for coppers... weird! ;)
-
As they say "One mans junk, is another man treasure" Yes, never know what a person might be looking for...and for what $$$
-
I paid 50p each for the three pieces above (boot sale again!) and sold them for a total of around ?14.00 on ebay.
-
You did well! :clap:
-
ebay can be quite a strange place to sell on. The bits you expect to fetch decent prices often attract no real interest, even with low start prices, yet pieces like these which you expect to go for a pound or two can get really silly money. One good example was a yellow Price Kensington relief moulded teapot in the shape of a windmill. I put it on at 99p and acheived ?26.00, but a tall Whitefriars bark vase in Kingfisher blue didn't get a sniff at ?4.99.
-
And yet another piece, this one by Knights Tintagel.
-
Are you sure it was a Whitefriars bark vase? Every man and his dog made bark vases. I would have expected it to go at ?4.99 if it was WF and in good condition
-
Christine, were the barks made in Kingfisher Blue by other firms as well? (Showing my woeful ignorance of barks here!)
-
There's a Davidson Luna one oft mistaken for WF at least
-
Yep, definately Whitefriars, there was an identical one on a WF website, whose address I've forgotton (on the old pc which crashed). It had a small chip on the inner rim but nothing serious. I gave it another go after a few months and it did go, but still for under a tenner, so somebody got a nice bargain which I don't begrudge as I've had plenty over the years and it's always nice to get a bargain don't you think?
-
Here's my St. Nectan's Tintagel candlestick. ;)
-
A nice piece. Give me one nicely glazed piece of studio pottery over a full Clarice Cliff (tries to find a vomiting emoticon but fails)coffee set anyday!
-
I personally feel the same way about C.C. and can't understand the fascination with it, nor the crazy prices it goes for :o. IMHO its a bit like The Emporer's New Clothes syndrome. But then each to his/her own ;D
-
I can understand the shock value in the '20s but I don't get why it's so cherished today. It always looks to me to have been painted by 10 year olds.

You take the profits where you can, 'cos they help to balance the losses.

Found this site (link) with a Tintagel mark on it
http://www.cornishceramics.com/marks.htm
See ones called: St Nectan's Pottery and Tintagel Pottery - Bossiney, Tintagel and Knight's of Tintagel
And of course I hope this is the right stuff - as just trying to help in any shape or form... :-\
-
Spot on Rose. They're lucky in Cornwall to have such a good supply of local, high quality clay
-
Thats a great website. We've got two of our pieces shown there - Harmony and Porthleven, and there's a jug that I sold to John Mole whose website it is, shown also. I've tried emailing him with more images, but its one of those funny email setups, and I've been unable to send any. I'll have another go when my youngest visits. She's more computer literate than me :comp: :hb:
The china claypits in the St. Austell/St.Dennis area are about 20+ miles from where I live, but I have visited them yet.
-
Here's one I found last week (car boot 50P). Its got a kinda lizard/snake/dagon thing going on round the bowl.
M
ps what does the 22 mean on the base?
-
oops sorry that should be Dragon not Dagon
M
-
I think that that piece comes from the Dragon Pottery, is it marked underneath?
-
Yes, Just added photo Chimpmad, - what is significant about 'dragon' is it a seperate pottery or a style?
Thanks
M
-
There is a Dragon Pottery which I think is Welsh, but the dragon theme is common to Wales and Cornwall as they share Celtic myths and legends such as the dragon.
-
Have you ever been to Tintagel,
Tis surely a mystical place. Not much there really apart from a dark age fort remains and a cycling museum (and a hotel) .

oops sorry that should be *Dragon* not Dagon
:mgc: <------- DRAGON, not Dagon ;D
