Circa 1960s

An excellent large 14 1/2″ (l) hand carved oakleaf shaped dish by the ex Mouseman craftsman Fred ‘Oakleafman’ Suffield, shaped and tooled  in the form of his carved signature.

Exellent condition and colour.

Fred Suffield was a Robert Thompson’s craftsman in the  1930s – 50s, he later worked with Sid Pollard and on his own. His solo work is quite rare to the market and bears an Oakleaf signature. He died  in the 1970s. His Oakleaf signature was later revived and adopted by David Langstaff when he set up  his own business in 1986. Their respective work is often confused but there are  differences in the design of their oakleaf carvings.
