Day 36: Harry Memmott Jug

Photo Caption: Day 36: Today’s piece is by Queensland potter Harry Memmott. Known by most collectors for his souvenir wares this piece is quite different to say the least. With it’s large strap handle and scrunched up stopper this jug is one helluva brute and I love it!

Day 26: Tamborine Dish

Photo Caption: Day 26: Today’s piece is a bit of a mystery to me and despite going through all my books and searching the internet I can’t say i have found anything concrete. The 1st ed of Geoff Fords pottery marks interprets the markings as “Tamborune” and suggests a possible connetions to former LJ Harvey student Frances Carnegie who set up her own pottery at Mt Tamborine in Queensland in the 1960s. This piece is signed Tamborine with the capital Q for Queensland associates with markings on many Harvey school pieces but it is also signed Morris or Mauris below the main markings. The clay is red and full of inclusions and the design is one of pure fantasy, part Australian Aboriginal, part Egyptian goddess. Anyways I’m stummped but i love this piece. Maybe @TimothyRobertsArtHistorian might have some clues?
