Title: Conjoined WP mark
Post by: artistcollecting on November 02, 2011, 04:42:38 AM

I have bought this item from ebay recently. I have searched the internet for the mark but couldn't find anything that will give light to the pottery's mark at the bottom. Does anyone know what/who it is? And which era/circa? Thanks so much!

It does look like a WP joined together. I have been looking up pottery marks and didn't see that one. But I don't really know anything about pottery so hopefully someone with more experience will post! Usually the stamped mark is the school/company where it was made and the scratched in initials would be the person who made it.

Hey, I think I may have actually figured an item out. Possibly. lol
Is it for Wheatley Pottery?

Good call Hosman !!  Looks like Wheatley is it !! Most I looked at was dated shortly after 1900 by the experts !!

Yes, Mart, it is a scratched PM also.... I must say I have not encountered Wheatley Pottery in my searches.  So far have only found Wilhelmina Post, Wellington and Winchcombe Pottery...!  Thanks! appreciate the feedbacks... will check it out also.  ;D
