A R G is Adel Graham from Morrinsville

As you can tell, I'm having a catch-up on unidentified marks. I have pondered this one for a while, as the mark is unclear within the glaze

It looks like RBG to me. Any thoughts?

Hmm I see a vague ARG ..... ?????

I was thinking ARG too, I've seen a lot of an "ARG" mark about, I have seen who it belongs to somewhere, not sure whether that was here or not though...

There is an ARG query on the site ... no photo though.

and an ARG listing on Trademe from 2011

no photos that I could see.

I found another of these little soup bowls

This is the same mark, but much clearer

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of

The potter of this was a Hamilton one I think. You can't move in OP shops here without tipping over ARG's pots. I wish I could remember his name. I have heard however that he has now left the country for good. He is/was a decent potter.

Thanks teaandcoffee, maybe one day we will find the name.

A R G was the mark of Adel graham, a potter from morrinsville. her signature was usually more hand written than this later on but early work was as above.

Wow thank you so much for this info!
We have waited a long time to find out the potter's name and she certainly was a prolific maker in all domestic ware.
Fantastic !!!!

Wonderful! I'm sure I grew up with a set of ARG spice Jr's in the family home in Blenheim in the 70s
