Clever, Colin. I would have gone to the electoral rolls but never have thought of ancestry. You must be into genealogy also. Collecting relatives is not much different from collecting pottery, is it? Although the pottery is often more interesting. ;-)

Hi Peter, Maryke Henderson doubts the tray is hers as she did not make extruded handles (assuming these are extruded) and always signed her full name.

Not clever Trudy , just stumbled over the following site, As it is compulsory to vote it would show if they were in a different state, however they may be in Australia and did not register on the electoral roll.

A few more finds some unknown.

A bowl from Agnes water Queensland seems to have a UP mark, and by the date it must be the oldest brand new piece in my collection Ha Ha.

A small pot with BB the first letter reversed unknown to me.

An Australian clayworkers piece.

A Malcolm cook piece.

An unknown C on a small pot.

An unknown d mark.

I thought this was a blue forest piece, however thanks to the information already on this site, found out it is Grant Lehmann and his connection to Blue Forest.

A plate with unknown mark possibly BTW, B Tlr?.

look forward to comments Colin

From Australian Pottery at Bemboka:

"Maryke Henderson is a potter based in the ACT. After many years working as a professional potter in the New England region of NSW, she undertook full-time studies at the ANU School of Art, graduating with honours in 2005. The following year, her nine-piece work 'Family' won the Doug Alexander award at the Canberra Potters' Society Annual Exhibition. She was one of four ANU graduates who exhibited at the Watson Arts Centre from 16 November to 3 December 2006 as part of the Emerging Artist Support Scheme (EASS 06). She currently specialises in soda glazing, which was the subject of her honours research report, and also teaches handbuilding and wheelwork at the Canberra Potters Society. Her work is marked with an impressed 'mh' or incised 'Maryke Henderson'."

Some big changes have been made to flickr overnight. They are described here:

blog.flickr.net/2013/05/20/a-better-brighter-flickr/

For us, the biggest positive is that we all now have 1 terabyte of space so no need for any more kazams, Rhonda, and I won't have to pay for two pro accounts any more.

I found a few things hard to find at first. The image sharing options (Grab the link and Grab the HTML/BBC code) are invoked by the little white arrow on the right and replacing or deleting an image by the three dots.

Have fun!
