More mystery marks

Nice little vase

merely signed King

Great neutral pottery bottle

with a very hard to decipher mark, not even sure which way up it goes

Nice big chunky vase,

but I don't recognise the name

A pair of salt & peppers

the marks are slightly different between the two


A wonderful large lidded pot, very well executed

marked LC or CL

A huge serving platter (looking for the right time to use it) 480mm long

marked P Hadfield ( ?? )

and lastly this wee fellow, smells of lovely bee wax

with this mark, which I wondered if it might be Janet Wright

We have a Philip Hadfield in the Gallery and perhaps this is another of his marks on the big platter?

The CL is familiar, but I'm brain dead atm .... hopefully something will come to me.

The last is Reikorangi Pottery - Janet and Wilf Wright.

Thanks for confirming that teaandcoffee, as least I worked one of them out.   

I think the first one is Roger King from the Hawkes Bay, see here http://www.nzpotters.com/PottersMarks/PottersMark_Image.cfm?potterID=1121

Gosh the hand writing is very different isn't it? I need some more convincing...

I agree that they are not exactly the same. I was wondering if the hand had changed over time, but my the two things that are similar, are that at first glance it looks like KMG rather than King on both, and that neither g has a tail. I was thinking of all the Waimea pottery I have seen, and I don't think any one had exactly the same Wp as another. Will keep searching.

Just to add that Waimea Pottery had an endless stream of potters working there and they all signed their work WP and that is why they look different. Yes we will look out for more confirmation on the King mark.

Could this be the same mark - it is unclear, but maybe? https://www.flickr.com/photos/ningarchive/6988510131/in/set-72157629655363023

Oh dear, Flickr have changed something as they don't recognise me any more !!! Blah Humbuggers!

Col Levy is the CL mark

Thank you Jimbo! Do you know if his mark was also impressed like the one in the mystery marks gallery?

Col Levy is an Australian potter.

Here is a link to his marks on the Australian Potters Marks site.

It says he used impressed and incised marks.

Scroll down to see his CL mark like above.

This mark is often attributed to Len Castle, but now we know who it belongs to.

I will add his mark and pot to the Australian Studio Potters on the site.

Sorry I've been working today and couldn't get back to this.

Hi. I have pieces with this mark also but have not been able to attribute it to Col Levy sorry.
