I collect H&K Tunstall .Who is R Groocott who signs on the back of some pieces?
I have some pieces of H&K Tunstal pottery from the unicorn factory. Some are just marked as hand painted and some are signed by R Groocott. Can anyone tell me if one is more sought after than the other?
Harold Grocott was a young, clever and flamboyant designer who was hired by Hollinshead and Kirkham after the first world war in the time of the depression. He produced twelve colourful designs of fruit etc. in an art deco style and these became known as the delicious dozen. The similarity to Moorcroft also gave them the unfair name of "poor man's Moorcroft". The designs prior to Grocott were pale and I think uninteresting and his work gave the company a huge boost at a difficult time.
I would certainly value a signed piece far more than an unsigned one. I love his work. He was born in Tunstall in the late 1890's so was only in his twenties when he did the designs for H & K.
Grocott is a Staffordshire name as my wife tells me for she was born and brought up near to where HG was born. The name has many different spelling variations.
