I suspect not. She was a full time teacher of History (taught at my wife's old school) for most of her working life and made very few pots after the early 1960s.

She did use stoneware but whenever I have seen her pots the potter's mark has been an impressed seal. Can't say that it is absolutely not by her though.

It is a very professionally made pot and from the look of it there appears to be no reason that it is not made in the UK. However, the mark just doesn't seem to be the usual way that professional British potters mark this type of work.
