English Pottery 1960s Bolingey Perranporth

By chele1972, 24 August, 2012
Description

My friend gave me this pot some years ago and I have always used it for storing my hairbrushes.

I would just like to know if this is worth anything as I will stop using it for my hairbrushes if it is!

It is of  a grey/green colour, highly glazed with no crazing, cracking or chips. It looks like it was only made yesterday!

Im not exactly sure what it is supposed to be for as Its not tall enough to be a vase.

I know that it was made in the 1960s by Mike Edwards of Bolingey Perranporth as it is underlined and that is how his work was identified. For a piece he was particularly proud of, He would put his initials into the bottom also (This, sadly has not)

I also know that the pottery was made in CORNWALL,ENGLAND.

Thankyou to all that helps me with this. I appreciate it.
