Hi – I recently found a small Martin Boyd plate with the initials MIL on it. Any help identifying who MIL was would be appreciated. I believe this is an older plate as it has some crazing. It is a scence of a ranch with a windmill and water tower. Thank you!
Hi Teresa, There is a list of some of the Martin Boyd Pottery decorators on p. 91 of Dorothy Johnston’s The Peoples’ Potteries. I can’t see a likely MIL there, but Dorothy might know more.
Gday there Judith I was just doing my weekly OP Shop bargain hunt and found a Braemore trough vase and I had never heard of them but for 50 cents I grabbed it and delighted to get home and google and learn so much about this wonderful Aussie Pottery,, New collector here,, Anyway I wonder if you could help me solve the riddle of the Makers Initials they look to be like a G with a K and a tiny 3 at the end,, I would love to know the name if you could help,, Cheers
Hi Judith, I had a look and you do not seem to have a mark by Margaret Dodd. I just bought a piece with an incised signature and also signed in pencil and thought you might like to see these.
Hello. I don’t know if you could help me but about 18 mths ago a bought a totally perfect set of pottery. Including milk jug, four mugs, sugar bowl, coffee bowl, casserole dish and six bowls with lids. Today I believe I discovered it is 1982 by Peter Robinson. Can you please tell me how to find out for sure and is it significant?
Thanks.
Hi Jaime, I don’t have any record of a Peter Robinson in my database. I’ll contact you by email so that you can send me an image of the set and of the mark.

Hi June, The Identifying Australian Pottery Group on Flickr or the Australian Pottery group on Facebook would be the best place to ask this question and you can post images on both these sites as well. This website is not a forum but a place for recording the results of our research.

I have a little jug with a lip to collect drips. Braemore 691 Can you tell me about it please
Hi Margaret, if you go to my sister site Australian Potters Marks and then navigate to B on the alphabet wheel, you’ll find Braemore there and can link through to the topic we have written on Braemore. Here is its direct URL as well:

Hi Pete, I am not a Braemore expert. There are collectors who might know more on the Australian Pottery group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/australianpottery/.
Thanks. I found it. My jug is marked in a similar manner.

I was suppose to write Peter Dobinson. Silly autocorrect.
