I didn't realise that Ross had passed away last year until today ....

Re: Ross Richards of Thackwood Pottery.
That is sad, another one gone to potter's heaven! I think I was quite lucky to have found this now...
Fabulous teapot - the lid looks like it doesn't match, but the collar and handle tonings re the same colour
Full signature too - RIP Ross

Is this Ross Richards?
Moksha has asked me to post his photos with some questions.
The NZ Potters site has a three-legged double-R mark for Ross Richards as shown above in a previous post. This varies from the two-legged double-R scissor or bow mark that has appeared here. This discrepancy has already given cause for comment.
Moksha's pot has a three-legged mark as seen on the NZ Potters site.
Can anyone tell us if Ross did use a three-legged mark?
Is this pot Ross Richards' work?

Ross Richards mark - base of the dark-glazed bottle from mumof1
Hi .. given that Ross's signature is hand-marked, I would say, from my own experience, that this "lack of third leg" is just one of those things that happen when making a mark on the base of a pot. Everything about mumof1's pot says 'RR" and would confirm that his mark, as has been discussed and photographed earlier, would clearly have 3 "legs".
With the red/copper-glazed bottle that I saw [on another pottery site?] there is nothing about it which says that Ross was the maker. I have two lovely pieces which, although not marked, are definitely his work. My apologies if this isn't the correct forum - search as I may, I couldn't find the red bottle!! Cheers

Re: Ross Richards of Thackwood Pottery.
Just would like to note that we were sent the mark of Kelly Blackburn and it has three 'legs'. Trying to get confirmation of her mark now, as it's so similar to Ross's mark!
