Happy to arrange a courier or use your own. Dear Chris & Wendy, I’d say that was most likely that your dad bought the pot in Lyme Regis. He offered to sell Alan’s work, so this was his local outlet. When was it made? I’ve seen similar style pots, which were from the early 90’s. Al would make a small batch (3 / 5 or 7 usually) and each would have similarities and differences in surface modelling and colouration. Thanks for allowing me use of your pictures. Any chance of supplying a few more of the pot standing upright would be most appreciated. Preferably with a plain white background or’natural’ setting (garden greenery). Well, all the Best, hope the info was of some interest. My favourite studio potter. Alan’s pots are’special’, a textural and visual delight. For over fifty years Alan made a great variety of 20th century functional forms, from three inch to three foot tall, all hand built, mainly using stoneware and porcelain, every pot having it’s own unique characteristics. Time worn”organic’ and’relic’ forms with surfaces that really look ancient in appearance.
