Troika Pottery Marks

Troika Pottery Marks and artists monograms.

Troika pottery marks and artists monograms are present on all Troika pieces and almost all Troika pottery was made in moulds, with most items having one basic mould.

Textured pieces had moulds with several different designs and decorators were given the freedom to modify textured moulds providing principal colour combinations were used.

Troika base marks are handwritten and Troika artists monograms can vary with time, especially when female artists marry and change their surnames, as with Honor Curtis/Perkins.

In addition several artists had matching initials, as with Stella Benjamin and Sue Baden, both SB, and the monogram has to be visually checked to make sure of the correct attribution.
