Title: Poole Pottery??
Post by: JojoMeme85 on June 07, 2013, 02:20:55 PM

Hi Guys,
I'm stuck on this one..
This was my nans and I am not even sure if it is antique may just be vintage.
After hours of research the only mark I can find that looks similar is Poole pottery..
Anybody know if I am right or not??
It also has a little 12 written inside the lid..
Thank you  :P

That number could be the size, style, or decorator number !! Its useless as far as identifying it !! Why do you think its Poole ??  They would have had more information on it !!

The style isn't Poole. Funnily enough, it resembles Meakin who was mentioned in another thread. Also Crown Devon.
However, the mark does resemble Poole ! Not particularly valuable though.

But Meakin never used a mark like that !!  English pottery is not my strong point though !!

No they didn't, that's why i said it resembles them

However, i think it's Morely Fox / Homeleigh creamware. The mark is usually seen with the MF monogram in a vase but this could have been a tureen from a whole service and possible the vase mark wasn't applied - it's known to happen.
