 Item code: RYECINQUE-BEA1 |
|
Small Cinque Ports Pottery (The Monastery, Rye) Beaker |
|
|
|
Here is an extremely pretty little beaker with a white ground and hand painted with a blue swirly pattern. Marked to the base with the circular stamp saying 'CINQUE PORTS POTTERY LTD, THE MONASTERY, RYE'. A lovely piece of retro British studio pottery. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups. SIZE: Height 3.5in/9cm Weight 118g CONDITION: Fabulous original condition with no chips or cracks. There is a pinprick sized area of glaze loss to the rim and crazing to the surface glaze mainly to the base. Cinque Ports Pottery was established in 1956 by former Rye Pottery employee, David Sharp, together with his friend George Cray. They continued until 1964 when they parted company and George moved to The Monastery with his production being marked as such on the back-stamp. He was very successful but handed the company over to Jim Elliot (from Iden Pottery) in the 1980's who again changed the back-stamp slightly. So we can be certain from the back-stamp on this piece that it is George Cray's production and dates from between 1964 and the 1980's.
