Dear All,

does anyone have any ideas about this small pot? The mark looks like JD or DJ.

Thanks for looking   Happy

10 inches high, lovely ash glaze that shows up well in sunlight, maroon interior.

Does anyone recognise the potter's seal? Looks like JD ot DJ.

Here are 2 made after he left Winchcombe:

First thank you for creating such a great forum and two for allowing me to join. I've been collecting Studio Pottery for over 20 years, have the identification books but have a few pieces I've never been able to identify. When I started collecting forums like this didnt exist so identification for a lover of pottery and not an expert was very difficult.

Anyway to my first pot. It does have a mark and is beautifully made and about 2 3/4" tall. Apologies if the images arent great been a while since I did this.

Thank you in advance

Adam

Wow, thank you so much for your help Naomi. Very speedy too. I have 5 or 6 pots in my collection that are unknown to me either marked or glaze filled that I've never been able to identify so this is just already such a fabulous place. Thank you again

We dont have a limit on posts, but some can take a while to ID if it's not a mark we've come across before or it's one of our long term mysteries. We just have to wait for one to turn up with a label.
