Some more Tintagel, these from the St. Nectans studio.

Is TC's St Nectans as well?

TC what does your bottom look like?

It probably wasn't marked Anne, it's long gone too.

No worries, I figured afterwards you'd have mentioned a mark if there was one.

Tigerchips · « **Reply #5 on:** February 15, 2009, 12:21:55 AM »

Indeed i would.

I'm surprised they haven't increased in value much.

Value's such a funny thing isn't it? Some people pay silly money for things I'd not give house room to yet there are really nice things that sell for coppers... weird!

As they say "One mans junk, is another man treasure" Yes, never know what a person might be looking for...and for what $$$

I paid 50p each for the three pieces above (boot sale again!) and sold them for a total of around ?14.00 on ebay.

Anne · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:41:01 PM »

You did well!

ChimpMad · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2009, 09:05:06 PM »

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.

And yet another piece, this one by Knights Tintagel.

Lustrousstone · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:40:19 AM »

Are you sure it was a Whitefriars bark vase? Every man and his dog made bark vases. I would have expected it to go at ?4.99 if it was WF and in good condition

Anne · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2009, 12:16:17 PM »

Christine, were the barks made in Kingfisher Blue by other firms as well? (Showing my woeful ignorance of barks here!)

Lustrousstone · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2009, 12:37:04 PM »

There's a Davidson Luna one oft mistaken for WF at least

ChimpMad · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:18:54 PM »

Yep, definately Whitefriars, there was an identical one on a WF website, whose address I've forgotton (on the old pc which crashed). It had a small chip on the inner rim but nothing serious. I gave it another go after a few months and it did go, but still for under a tenner, so somebody got a nice bargain which I don't begrudge as I've had plenty over the years and it's always nice to get a bargain don't you think?

Here's my St. Nectan's Tintagel candlestick.

ChimpMad · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:32:48 PM »

A nice piece. Give me one nicely glazed piece of studio pottery over a full Clarice Cliff (tries to find a vomiting emoticon but fails)coffee set anyday!

I personally feel the same way about C.C. and can't understand the fascination with it, nor the crazy prices it goes for

. IMHO its a bit like The Emporer's New Clothes syndrome. But then each to his/her own
