Re: Coromandel red casserole is by Ron Clark of Whangapoua
Lovely thanks Kat 
I've been told that this is the work of Mike O'Donnell's father, but I've had nothing to confirm this. Whoever they are they produced a fair bit of pottery and always used that distinctive red glaze.

Coromandel red casserole
I have been told that this ware has something to do with Mike O'Donnell's family and his father and brother were mentioned, along with Mike, but no definite details. This ware is a rich distinctive red and every piece that I've seen has had the base ground where the glaze has run.

A potter's mark is on the base along with the word Coromandel ...

Some problems with servimg it seems as the photos are not showing atm!

At last I found a piece of this work that didn't cost the earth and it is made from earthenware clay and glazed with a tin glaze and coloured glazes. It has Coromandel written on the base in the same hand with those squiggles above that only the maker would know what they represent ..




Red Ramekin
The glaze is lovely on this big ramekin with same mark & in earthenware too..

Snaffled a photo of this mark and it looks like there is an M up there under those three little strokes ...

Looks like Roadrunner or some other chook to me. Maybe a flower head.

A chance Facebook post about this work suggested that this work and mark was made by Ron Clark /e who potted at Whangapoua .
The Ferret has spoken to Annette Stephenson's daughter and she asked her Mum who potted at Whangapoua if she remembered Ron and his red glaze and she does.
Now we are waiting to find the correct spelling and then we can credit this wonderful work to him

Just to confirm that this work is that of Ron Clark who was potting at Whangapoua, Coromandel. Many thanks to Annette Stephenson, her daughter Nina and the Ferret.
