Afternoon playmates,
Any one heard of this pottery? I'm not sure if it is someone's name or if it is an irish pottery that makes "Derry
Ware" pots ... but I've just found a pot with this mark on it ... anyone any ideas?
-
... there there ... I'll take a shot if you want me to ... but it just says:
DERRY WARE
POTTERY
... thats it ... if you have any ideas ... hang on I'll take a couple of pics now ... hold on ...

... OK here they are ...
...I'll have a look at that site ... the pot just might not be a brit pop ... brit pot ... get it brit pot/britpo ... oh never mind! lol
Hey ... I've suddenly got the attach thing to work ... all I had to do was to press "more attachments" ... doh!!

There was a Derryware Pottery in N. Ireland in 1985, they got some kind of grant see here (http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/D/0356/D.0356.198503060010.html) and I found this auction here (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Antiques-collectables/Ornaments-figurines/Other/auction-108897476.htm)

... good work Christine ... isn't it amazing when more than one does a bit of investigating ... why didn't I think of DERRYWARE and not keep looking at DERRY WARE ... fantastic ... thanks for that ... I'll try the telephone number on Monday and see where it gets me.
