Looks very similar to the mark for Philip Leach's Springfield Pottery, although Springfield pottery has a terracotta body rather than this greyish one.

Mark looks like HP or maybe HR. I looked in British Studio Potters marks second edition, but didn't find this mark. Any ideas?

5” vase, I’m unsure whether it’s porcelain or stoneware- it’s greyish in colour.
O blood type glaze.
Curly mark , May have J, H, in it but unsure

Northumbrian Craft Pottery
Andrew M. Harding and Michael Palmer met in 1977 at Cleveland College of Art it was here that they were introduced to clay and realised ceramics was the path to follow, finding great excitement in the versatility of the medium especially when thrown on the wheel. After college Andrew served his apprenticeship at Bill Woods Pottery for six years and Michael did four years at Oak Tree Pottery where he met Matt Jobling. Following the closure of both potteries the three of them started Northumbrian Craft Pottery in 1986 in what was originally an old pit building in Backworth North Tyneside. Today Andrew carries on the pottery following the untimely death of Michael.
