Description: My Research revealed the following regarding this artist and his pottery; Vintage Bernard Moss Pottery Fish Design Pot charming piece of Studio Pottery from Moss Pottery at Pentewan in Cornwall dating to 2nd half of the 20th century - Bernard Moss and his wife are no longer with us but were highly respected Art Potters during the last century and this piece is unusual - collections including fish styles can be found but the 2 fish together is much more unusual and very collectable - clearly marked on the underside MOSS Pentewan the inside has a glazed finish the outside is a matt finish in a blue with white design with 2 fish and then one fish in succession around the outside. (Worth Point) "There were several moves and changes of mark that help to determine the date of Bernard Moss pieces. The pottery mark in 1954 was Mevagissey Pottery, but changed in 1956 to Moss Mevagissey when the Mosses and their young family moved to Jetty Street. The predominant colour of the models was terracotta until 1960 when it was changed to blue. In 1961 there was another move, this time to The Old School House in St Ewe and the mark changed to St Ewe Moss. While at St Ewe Bernard changed from making his figures to thrown studio pieces and domestic wares.From 1965 to 1972 the pottery was at Pentewen, and the mark was Moss Pentewen, and then from 1972 to 1977, Castle Gate, Penwith, near their old friends Christiane and Anthony Richards. At this time the mark changed to Moss Cornwall. 1977 saw the circle complete with a return to Cliff Street, Mevagissey, and a reversion to the 1956 mark, Moss Megavissey." (20th Century Forum)
