stoneware plate with handles - Alan Patrick, Bethel Pike Pottery, Albany,

I have this glazed stoneware plate with handles from the 60s or 70s, I think, with blue floral decoration and two stamps on the back.  It measures about 12" across and weighs over 2 pounds.  I would be grateful for any information anyone might be able to give me -- possibly someone knows what the maker's mark is? Thanks very much!

Thank you! I actually don't know why I assumed this was American. Just because I acquired it in the U.S. doesn't mean anything. The closest in style I've seen through random internet searches is Robert Tinnyunt who's British.

Yes, thank you, I did look there. Do you think it's possible this is British? I have no idea how to tell where it's from by the style, but perhaps I should be looking at British marks instead...?

Thanks again! Is there any way to tell British vs American pottery by looks or style?

subtle differences in style,we look at millions of British pots so when it doesn't quite fit we know it's foreign

Thanks, that's sort of what I figured. I am just starting to learn about pottery and realize that it's quite complicated. So, then, -- do you think this is American, or British?

not British but I know next to nothing about American pottery

Thanks! Me neither!

Thank you so much, that is very kind of you.

OK, this is dumb, but when you say it looks like a "professional" piece, do you mean you think it was made by an actual named studio potter rather than a student or amateur?

Wow, thanks! I never would've seen AP in that mark.

So now I have a second question: why would there be two marks, and would a partial ID mean one had identified only the studio and not the particular potter, or something else?

Thank you so much! You and your friend have been so helpful!
