Just under 4 months from my first BMP purchase and entry in this Guestbook, I now have 50 plus pieces in 4 different glazes. Purchases have been from Ebay, Charity Shops, Boot Fairs and Antique Fairs and includes a 1960s crimped vase bought for just 50 pence.

Many Thanks to Alan for his VERY valuable help in identification. Nothing is too much trouble.  Keep up the Good Work, Cheers, Cliff Boulton

Great Job Allan !! I feel honoured to be the first guest contributor and to have my very own album. I continue to refer people to your web site, all have expressed amazement at the variety of BMP pieces and glazes. Keep up the good work and I'll add a few more of my special finds to my very own album. 

TTFN....Peter

I was at a yard sale while visiting in Colorado, found this small squat green and black drip glaze bud vase.  I happen to like the style and others in storeage.  Also, I must admit that I thought the mark was something else (no glasses, lol)oh my.  When i retured home i cleaned it up and found the mark and this website. I never would have been able to learn about BMP without you.  Thank You.  Will visit soon.

Very interesting site. Returned from my first ever trip to visit my Cousin in Toronto on Mon 29/06/09.  On Sun5/07/09 I went to a local Boot Fair and was attracted to tall blue/green duck on a stall. I "knocked" the price down from £8 to £6 and was asked by the seller if I knew what it was. I said a duck or a goose, i just like it. He told me iy was BMP. I contacted my cousin who said she had the same one and had I not seen it?  It also seems that on one of our trips out, we were close to the BMPottery. What co-incidences eh? I am now developing an interest in the subject and today (8/7/09) bought a Flying Goose in a charity shop for £3.  Will check out your site again soon, Cheers, Cliff.

What a fantastic website you have created!  Just marvellous for us collectors to use as a tool to identify BMP and see what other pieces there are available out there.  Thanks for sharing your collection with us.  I have about 140 pieces - they take quite a bit of dusting!!  I'll be back to check on any updates to the site.  Thanks again - Cheryl.

Hi:

I just found you site and I found it very informative, I only recently started collecting BMP seriously, I have had a few pieces for a number of years but was not a serious collector. Now that I have found your site I will be able to identify my pieces. I did join the BMPCC last month.

Thanks

Joan

I have two old round platters that I bought at a garage sale years ago. i just looked up BMP Pottery and found your site. I had no idea what BMP was, I am not a collector, but it is so interesting to see what they made and the diversity of their wares.

Sorry Mark, just the website. The only information In a book that I'm aware of is a six page entry in the Millers Collectables Price Guide 2009.

We have a Double Leaf vase in blue (BMP on base) and when researching it, without much hope, discovered your site. Didn't realise there was so much of it about.

I have just discovered your site and have really enjoyed looking at all your Blue Mountain. My partner Barry and I have about 70-80ish pieces all animals apart from one vase which was our first purchase a few years ago.
Many thanks for putting your collection on the web for all to see.
Kind regards

Great site. I am a new collector and have already accumulated abt 100 pcs. I just acquired a large green angelfish abt 16" tall at the top of the dorsal fin.
Is it BMP ?
It is beautiful and in perfect condition.
Any idea what it might be worth in $Cdn ?
BTW I learned a lot from your ID section !
I also found a green glaze ashtray abt 9" in diameter.
It is marked with a Maple Leaf and "Expo67"
You know anything abt it ?
Thx,
Ed

Thanks so much for the identifying BMP section. Helped me to realize that the set of candle holders i got the other day for $10 for the pair is the real deal. I wasn't quite sure until visiting your site!
