If you are to view the two dispassionately, the difference in design can be seen in the ramekins made by Boyd in Sydney compared to those made by Ray Cook at the time. Essentially the difference between the two styles made in Victoria was the speckled finish used by Boyd that was not continued by Raynham who continued with their standard design. Not only that, but I consider that the quality of manufacture of Raynham was better than those of Boyd. If you are to believe the entry on Boyd by Ford, then you would have to conclude that Ray Cook was using this design decades before Boyd started up in Bentleigh.

At this time he stopped making pottery and began making sculpture instead. Derry Talvainn (nee Boyd) Guy Boyd's daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
