Pottery Marks of Prince Edward Island - Index

- updated Oct 1, 2025

Pottery has traditionally been marked with the place of production, as well as identifying the potter or the studio where it was made. Many studio potters include the year as well. Requests from collectors for information on PEI pottery that arrived by email has grown into a blog about Prince Edward Island potters over time.

Village Pottery in New London, PEI continues to be a big part of our family life; founded by my wife Daphne Large in 1973 it is now owned and managed by our daughter Suzanne Scott, while Daphne and I continue as active potters within the business. My interest in the field developed when I worked as a leather instructor at Holland College School of Visual Arts in 1972, worked with both Barry Jeeves and Ron Arvidson, who were instructors in the pottery studio. They both influenced a generation of potters including myself. I began compiling information on current and historic potters on Prince Edward Island after getting questions by email sent to the Village Pottery address and decided to post the responses in blog format.

Local collectors of Island pottery including Gary Carroll, Tom Banks and Catherine Hennessey have all been generous with sharing their collections with me and providing photographs, which is much appreciated.
