Troika Pottery Marks

Troika marks and artists monograms are present on all Troika pottery pieces.

Troika Pottery Marks

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 pottery marks are handwritten and Troika artists monograms can vary over time.

Particularly when female artists married and changed their surnames, as with Honor Curtis/Perkins.

In addition several artists had matching initials, as with Stella Benjamin and Sue Baden.

Both the above artists used the initials 'SB', and the monogram has to be visually checked to make sure the Troika piece has the correct attribution.

Recommended Reading for Troika Pottery ...

troika-63-83

Troika 63-83 is a book published on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Troika Pottery Company.

It details how the mould-cast sculptural pieces developed, the materials used and even tin glazed pieces by Brancusi and Klee.

And how Aztec designs influenced the decoration and the heavily textured pottery that became the Troika trademark

It is definitely recommended reading for the serious Troika pottery collector and can be found in most good bookstores or libraries.
