Paul Tobin

A possible???? small Paul Tobin vase about 100mm high...... from Marcus -



As the mark differs from the Tobin mark in the Marks of New Zealand Potters by one line ....
could someone confirm this strong looking Tobin-like pot please

I guess the best person to ask would be Andrew van der Putten....he identified my very first Tobin, before anyone knew what the Tobin mark looked like...or was willing to tell me back in the day

nzpotters.com have put their potters marks back on the site!
Some are drawings - bumma .... some are photos ..... YAY
Check out the photo of the Paul Tobin mark ......
[ignore the fact that it says that there isn't a mark]

Crikey I forgot to add the link
http://www.nzpotters.com/PottersMarks/PottersMarks_List.cfm

.........it has all of the same lines that yours has Marcus
It looks like the shape of a yacht to me ?
Another step closer

I immediately saw Paul Tobin's mark when I picked up this little beauty ...
But I need some verification as it varies somewhat to his known marks.

The Ferret points out that Paul Tobin made handles similar to Barry Brickell, but these are his.
