If you don't have a close up option then just photograph it from a longer distance so it is in focus, then we can zoom in on it ourselves.

I've seen a few pots by Canterbury Pottery - the name usually handwritten in script on the base - but never an angel. Maybe they did it as a special commission for Canterbury Cathedral's gift shop?

Here's an example:

thanks Naomi...so if I just take a pic you can zoom it in....my angel is stamped on the base. Like the idea of it being a special for the Cathedral...I will contact them

Yes. I can zoom in just with the scroll button on my mouse. Others may need to hold the Ctrl button down as well, or go to the settings icon on their tool bar and change the zoom % number.

One I spotted in the shop a while back, unfortunately the mark on the back is a bit faint:

Canberbury Pottery. Set up in 1963 by Elizabeth (Betty) Chapman who trained as an artist. Her early pottery is a bit rustic but the decoration is wonderful, and she signed the pots Elizabeth Chapman. Her son and his wife took over the pottery.
