    Hello
    first time here and wondering if anyone can help.
    I have inherited some studio pottery from my Mum. The majority is late 60s, easy to recognize Troika, Wallwork etc. A few bits are Danish.

    I have two beautiful bowls. Large,vshallow, beautifully made. I know they to are 60s and they both have a raised G in a raised circle ( or at least I think that is what is says) as their mark. Have spent hours but can't find out who this mark belongs to, any ideas gratefully received.
    I have not been able to upload a pic ( my IT deficiencies). Thank you X

    If your photos are too large to load here (they have to be under 1MB), try emailing them to yourself as size medium to resize them.

    If it's British, possibly Gill McCubbin in St Briavels. Domestic stoneware type pots, 1970s.

    That's the book I looked through, McCubbin seems the closest match. The others don't have encircled marks or the G is totally wrong.

    Waiting to find that book someday at a reasonable price. Don't run into tons of British studio pottery around here:)

    From that page link it sort of looked like Georgina Frankel or Gabriella Casemore might have used similar marks but no idea what any of their works are like. Just in case the other doesn't pan out.

    I paid full whack for it a few years back. ;) It's been useful though. One of those I use a great deal.

    Well found one at less than the usually crazy price so took the plunge. :) I love a good book.

    It's worth it. My other favourites are Charles Hajdamach on British Glass and a book called the Doulton Lambeth Wares. Oh, and the big Jacksons for hallmarks.

    I'll have to keep my eyes out for them. :)

    So I know it's not Frankel or Casemore as the 2 bowls are 60s or poss early 70s but I think 60s, these two ladies are too young. I can find no examples of McCubbins work so that's still possible. However the second bowl which I had wrongly assumed had the same mark has the mark attached, the same G in a circle but this time with what looks like a S with a T through it in a rectangle. Sadly this bowl is broken, I love it and am looking to get it restored somewhere.

    If you're on Facebook, there's an excellent group for Mystery British Studio Pottery Marks. If they don't know, no one will. That second one isn't in the book.
