This Poole Pottery shape 227
red bodied bowl dates from the Carter, Stabler Adams period and is decorated in
the classic QB Comical Bird pattern, an all-time Poole favourite designed by
Truda Carter in about 1930
It has the impressed
factory backstamp in use from 1924 to 1950, the red clay body dates it no later
than 1934 and it was decorated by Nellie Bishton (later Nellie Blackmore)
during her first period with the pottery from 1927 to 1932
The bowl is a nice size, 3.5"
(8.5cm) high, 8.5” (21cm) diameter at the widest point and the rim is 7.75"
(19.5cm) diameter
There are a couple of cracks on the rim as
shown in the pictures and some staining on the inside of the bowl but it is
otherwise in good condition with no other damage and only the faintest sign of
crazing on the outside which is very unusual for these red bodied pieces
A beautifully painted piece
in a very sought after pattern, these bowls are seldom seen on the market and
it would be worth a great deal more if the condition was better so I have it on
sale at a much reduced price – a rare piece that will make a fine addition to
your collection
