Sally Vinson

and her mark ....

Found a lovely cup and saucer made by Sally Vinson.
The brushwork over a tin glaze looks so pretty.

I picked this up because I love it... free to a good home if anyone wants to pay postage. A bread and butter plate.

Sally Vinson from her Coromandel days, Central Pottery - Sally and John were partners. John died shortly after they went to England.  Thanks to a private collector going by the name of Ferret. 

I'm Sally's daughter Lucy and I love this mug and other pictures that have been posted of my Mum's work. Can I just correct Maryke Smith as my Mum has never changed her name she has always been Sally Vinson both in work and in her personal life. The black and gold is unusual and very pretty. Mum now lives in the UK on the Isle of Wight but has happy memories of her pottery and time in New Zealand.

That was me Lucy. No disrespect intended. Unfortunately sometimes all a person has is what they research off the internet. Will continue my search with finding out who this other mystery Sally is Btw, love your mum's work.

VINSON, Sally. 18/1/1939 - 24/4/2023. Amazing career as a studio potter in the UK, Devonport, and Coromandel. 1980s President of the NZ society of potters. Warrior in NZ Anti nuclear movement. Wonderful mum to Lucy, Nick, and Jake, life partner to John.
