Whose is this "PW" on a large mug is Paul White

Large (9cm across the base and 10cm tall)finely potted mug with a sturdy handle and 'PW' clearly impressed.



and the mark

Wow, no ideas anyone? I was expecting this to be one of the easy ones lol One I'd missed on the forum somewhere...

Sorry Cat, but there were quite a few PW potters and none of them match this mark ....

Thanks ev. Speaking of P.W.s I think I have a Paul Wotherspoon dish that I will post in that topic soon for confirmation... when I get a photo...

I am thinking Paul White could be a possibility, just looking at the stylistic similarity of the decoration in this listing: http://www.trademe.co.nz/pottery-glass/porcelain-pottery/other-nz-manufacturers/auction-655381098.htm

WIll do some further snooping, ahem, I mean research :-)

I totally agree that the decoration has been done by the same hand .... well done for noticing! Now to sleuth the mark .... research, or nosey..... all good hahaaaa
I'm the biggest nosey parker when it comes to pottery HA!

Can any one tell me who made these? Potters mark is PW and I got these from my grandmother who used to buy a lot of pottery in the 70`s and 80`s. She used to buy from Mirek Smisek in Te Horo, I know these are not his but I am guessing it will be the same era. I am a very novice collector and have a few pieces I would like to identify so hopefully someone can help.

It looks like the same mark as on this post Plumtree http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/t3568-whose-is-this-pw-on-a-large-mug , is that correct? If so, we are still trying to identify this potter.

Yes that is exactly the same. The milk jug and sugar bowl came from Grandma and the oil jug I found in the op shop today. This kicked off another attempt to find out who did them.

If it helps, my Grandmother brought a lot of pottery in Kapiti and I got the oil jug in the Waikanae op shop.

and I bought the mug at a Palmerston North Op-shop

Definitely Paul White! Levin.

Thanks for that cyrd
