Have I departed from my policy of Australian art ramekins only and included that famous English pottery? I don't think so. Not even close. Poole's was a short lived pottery, starting up around 1957 in Park Road Cheltenham, Victoria. These ramekins are of differing sizes but same shape. Slip cast with harlequin interiors. Well made, but the stirrup marks let them down. The signature "Poole" is incised, but is not clear on most pieces. These pieces have external crazing consistent with age.Thursday, July 16, 2009

Good afternoon and thanks for all your work in creating this amazing resource. I have a hand me down set of Poole Ramekings and sadly they are becoming more fragile and damaged with use. I'm on the lookout to try and rebuild my set and would welcome any advice you might have on if there are any for sale in Australia. My sincerest thanks for any guidance. Andrew
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Poole are very rare as far as Australian Ramekins are concerned. You are lucky to have any. The only place that I have seen any for sale at present is at the Mill Market just outside Ballarat. They only have a couple of them for a few dollars each. I know that it is a long way to go, and I don;t know which stall it is either. Even though they are rare, they are not valuable.
