Barry Brickell marks ....

What an interesting topic and I'm surprised that nobody else has looked into this.
Barry's pottery career spanned 50 plus years, which means he would have made mountains of pottery in that time.

The Ferret has sent many photos of Barry's smaller pots and marks with time frames for me to put together a history of his marks.  He hasn't looked at the large pieces of Barry's work that he has yet, but will make that another mission in the future.

He knew Barry well and spent a lot of time with him over the years and Barry enjoyed it when the Ferret showed him pots and Barry would tell him when he made them.

In the beginning Barry didn't even mark his work, but by the 1960's there was a 'Wiggley Wheel' mark.
There appears to be a variety of variations, especially when it comes to how many spokes his wheel stamp has.

In the 1980's Barry noticed that other potters were using a wheel mark and he then added a dot to his wheel, up until 1990.
From 1990 on he blanked out a spoke on his wheel mark.

I will also check out the marks that have been posted on the site to see what else it out there.

Just need to find the time to do this ....

Barry Brickell marks, up to and including the 1960's and 1970's -

Many thanks to the Ferret for sharing his knowledge and photos.

The jug this mark is from was defiantly made in 1970.Don't know if it's any help,the border is a different shape. Finally realized who "The Ferret" is.

Thanks chef, there are many more to come yet, I will get to them when I can.
The Ferret said if Barry couldn't find his stamp, he would just make another one

Barry Brickell marks 1980's to 1990's, 6 spokes and a dot.
Barry added the dot as it annoyed him that others were using a wheel stamp.

Hi Guys
I found this bowl at a local Op-shop and would like to share it with others. I believe its also a Barry Brickell, but I’m not a hundred percent sure, but the markings do seem sumilar.
Thanks .

I'm not sure and I hope someone can give you a definite yes or no.

Photos could be a little sharper but I'd say yes it is.

A great find. It is definately Barry's

Is the above Barry's? Anybody know please?

I would say it is definately not Barry's pot. He never potted that 'clean'. And he never stamped at the top of his pots

Hi, your pot was made by Carrick Oliver.
His mark is near the base and is a small o with a tail.
This stamp near the spout is purely decoration.

Awesome thankyou

Yes that is Carrick Oliver's mark. Cheers.

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if this is Barry Brickell? 
Thanks!

Could you please add a photo of the pot as well?
Many thanks

Have added now, thanks!

Great, as we have some very knowledgeable people in regard to Barry Brickell come by most days. Good luck

Thank you!!

Sorry. This is not a Barry Brickell mark. It may be one of Ralph Hetzell's marks? Cheers
