Pics are not cut off if you click the little arrowhead next to the paperclip and view the photo from there


GLENWOOD POTTERY  operated from the 1950s in Mona Vale (Sydney).


They made slip cast vases decorated with geometric designs or hand painted with gilt patterns


the mark is slightly different to that shown in Ford's Encyclopaedia of Aust Potters Marks but looks very similar.

Thanks SO much Putney, I havent heard of Greenwood pottery before and couldnt make out the mark.


 


Not much info on it online, will take a punt at what its worth?!


 


Anyone know what the other one is? There is a very faint circular makers mark but I can't see what that says either.

Cornwell's Brunswick? It looks the right shape for their mark and it looks a bit like their glazes and construction.

Well thats VERY interesting, I had no idea that Cornwell's had a pottery in Brunswick


Interesting because Cornwell is my maiden name and my family there lived in Pascoe Vale 


co-incidence?? hmm havent heard of a pottery in the family though...
