Featured Ohm'gosh - Newcombe College pottery

I never thought I'd see a piece outside of the Antiques Roadshow but there it sat in a dollar box. Not a dollar each - a dollar for the whole box. Most of the rest was junk except another piece marked Made in Belgium. As some in the trade say, I couldn't hustle it out of there fast enough. Haven't had time to look up the decorator's name yet but for a buck who cared??? I think the flowers are crocuses.

 

I am assuming this will not be going anywhere at least for the foreseeable future.

I have always said that if I ever bought a piece of pottery with the intention of keeping it for myself it would be a piece of Newcombe College or Rookwood.

Congrats on the find!!

 

Darned tootin'! I'm not really a pottie, but this was one of those "I can't believe I'm finding this" moments.

 

FYI - It's Newcomb with a b and no e.

And you are one lucky duck with that! I agree the flowers look like croci.

 

SCORE! It's a beauty!

 

Oooooo lucky you!

Wow!

 

I think I saw an identical at the thrift store last week and never thought of looking at the base

 

O....M......G!!!!
I'm dying here!!!!!
Awesome find!!

 

Thanks. My brain kept wanting the E at the end of the name, and now I don't have to look all that up.

No idea what it's worth. Find of the Summer ... and I wasn't the first person into the building either. They opened at 9 and I didn't get there until 9:30 at least. How the HECK it and all the silver were still there I haven't a clue.

 

What luck!! You go girl!

 

Maybe payback for telling some young folks looking at champagne flutes to "buy that". It was Waterford - told 'em where to look for the marks and that those stems are like $50 each. The whole box was $5.

 

They seem to be in the thousands $$$$ on some Liveauctioneers auctions though none exactly the same in this bunch.

That's about what I hoped.(LOL) The $50 pricetag was for Waterford.

 

Nice find evey

Don't know if this is an ignorant question or not

But are there a significant amount of revered american potters out there, compared to other countries

Just out of interest

Never seem to hear of many apart from the few

 

I am not a pottie but this is something I will have to store in my memory bank,

 

Beautiful.

We don't get North American ceramics here either, so another ignorant furrinner.

 

Congratulations - great find!!!

 

My guestimate is 15k to 20k at a good auction house like Ragos, this one on eBay sold for 11k and it was only 6" tall, Joseph Meyer seems to go for good $$$

 

Jeez, I didn't realize we were talking that much bunce

Find of the year evey
