Jack Robinson

I saw these 2 bright pieces in an op shop recently

and thanks to the help of RL Pike, they have been identified as Jack Robinson of Nelson



His mark

Excellent and another JR mark

Hi there, my name is Thomas and I'm the grandson of John Robinson, I was wondering if you had any of his pottery available for sale or if you know where I could purchase some? I'm really hoping to get something to give to my mum for christmas this year, please let me know if you can help Love seeing his bright colours still out there, we have some beautiful bowls of his at home

Hi Thomas .. Jack was a very dear friend (and neighbour) of mine. I have a couple of pieces of Jack's pottery which he gave to me and which I would be very happy to hand on to you. I did see two of his oven dishes in a charity shop in Richmond, Nelson, a couple of weeks (as well as the brightly-coloured pieces shown below) but unsure if they are still there. Would be willing to do some detective work if you'd like me to. Not sure of the appropriate way to get in touch with each other though??

You can use the Private Message feature on the site to contact each other.

Just click onto his name and you will get that option.

Good luck.

Hi Ev .. thank you for your help .. have PM'd Thomas (who I met as a young boy when he visited Jack's home). Cheers Lynda

I'm pretty sure all the works are gone from that shop now Lynda. Such a shame we didn't know earlier, or one of us could have acquired them for Thomas.

Thomas, I also will keep an eye out for you.
