Hi

Nice 5.25 pint mug with combined initials. Would anyone recognise the mar or style? The glaze on the top of the handle is gloss also, just greasy at the moment :0)

By Gus Leazell. I dont have any information about him other than a handful of his pots turning up at auction a few years ago; some of them signed.

A suggestion that Gus was short for Augusta

There was someone of that name living in Haslemere.

Interesting. Cheers :)

I don't think it's Poole; the pot just has the GL mark. Several auctions online with mixed Poole and Gus Leazell lots, so I suspect that's why they thought there was a Poole connection.
