A bit of a clumsy vase

by Doerama February 14th 2015, 4:44 pm

A nice bottle vase with great blue glaze, but a bit lop-sided! Stoneware, chunky & heavy. Unsure of mark, been looking for quite a while.

Thanks for any help

Second mark looks a little like the Brookhouse Pottery mark

Thanks for that. I have had a look but this piece doesn't seem to have the 'dot' above the 'waves'. Tricky one.

Thanks

There is another possibility which I'm trying to chase up. A potter who does raku these days and has an elongsted SSS stamp.

No, I was thinking of Chris Carter's CCP mark. Probably not him.

It does look as if there is a seam across the bottom so perhaps moulded in two sections rather than thrown. Also the colour and fineness of the stoneware doesn't look typical British studio pottery but I can't get near suggesting where it was made.
