I can understand the shock value in the '20s but I don't get why it's so cherished today. It always looks to me to have been painted by 10 year olds.

ebay can be quite a strange place to sell on. The bits you expect to fetch decent prices often attract no real interest, even with low start prices, yet pieces like these which you expect to go for a pound or two can get really silly money. One good example was a yellow Price Kensington relief moulded teapot in the shape of a windmill. I put it on at 99p and acheived ?26.00, but a tall Whitefriars bark vase in Kingfisher blue didn't get a sniff at ?4.99.

In regards to another item....<threadjack...>

Bought for $2, sold for $75.00  :blush: - but I was OFFERED that.  ;D

You take the profits where you can, 'cos they help to balance the losses.

Found this site (link) with a Tintagel mark on it

http://www.cornishceramics.com/marks.htm

See ones called: St Nectan's Pottery and Tintagel Pottery - Bossiney, Tintagel and Knight's of Tintagel

And of course I hope this is the right stuff - as just trying to help in any shape or form...  :-\

Spot on Rose. They're lucky in Cornwall to have such a good supply of local, high quality clay

Thats a great website.  We've got two of our pieces shown there - Harmony and Porthleven, and there's a jug that I sold to John Mole whose website it is, shown also.  I've tried emailing him with more images, but its one of those funny email setups, and I've been unable to send any.  I'll have another go when my youngest visits. She's more computer literate than me :comp:  :hb:

The china claypits in the St. Austell/St.Dennis area are about 20+ miles from where I live, but I have visited them yet.

I think that that piece comes from the Dragon Pottery, is it marked underneath?

Yes, Just added photo Chimpmad, - what is significant about 'dragon' is it a seperate pottery or a style?

Thanks

There is a Dragon Pottery which I think is Welsh, but the dragon theme is common to Wales and Cornwall as they share Celtic myths and legends such as the dragon.

Have you ever been to Tintagel,

Tis surely a mystical place. Not much there really apart from a dark age fort remains and a cycling museum (and a hotel) .
