Royal Oak cup with backstamp

This jug is almost identical in shape to Royal Oak, but it is marked and it has a much crisper, shinier glaze than anything I have seen in Royal Oak. I have found a sugar bowl, jug, and mug in this ware. Not all of it is marked, but the sugar bowl and jug are.  Any theories anyone?

I have a slipcast mug somewhere with that mark on it.
Could have a photo somewhere as well .....?
Perhaps that is an S for Salisbury ?
That just popped into my head

How about this backstamp !!!



'S' for Salisbury's perhaps? It even has a footring!!

Ev I have posted some of that elsewhere. This is a reminder to me to find link tomorrow

Found your post Val and I will merge the two topics now.

Ev have a close look sometime at your mug... I felt that the clay body was different from Royal Oak? Sort of grainier.

Well thank you Auckland Museum Online Collections as they have a jug with this mark on it and they say it is Royal Oak.  Ta Daaaaa

I will add the mark to the Royal Oak Gallery !!

Aha! I had forgotten about this. My Salisbury source told me that this would have been a mark done by Owen Salisbury. For some time, Owen was in a workshop separate from his sons Edward and Stewart, and during that period Owen did quite a bit of experimental work. Owen obviously decided to put his own mark on these pieces.

Hmmm ok, so do you think it's ok to add this mark to the Royal Oak Gallery, as the shapes that it was put on were the same as Royal Oak? I think so as Mr Salisbury was Royal Oak

Yes I think it belongs in the RO gallery, it's a royal oak shape and made by the family.

The S is a lot like the S in Sama on the stickers. Same stuff?

Same family made it. Sama was an earlier version of Royal Oak.
