Raku Vase - Stephen Kingsford, Mawdesley, Lancashire and Cransford

Raku glaze vase nice clear mark

I'm not sure about this at all...I don't know if it's "studio" or not, I'm a bit lost with Raku. That said, it isn't the only piece I own, I do love it.
This one does have a mark though.

Good spot Naomi, sadly sold now. Just wish I could keep everything! Unfortunately my wife has insisted that our dinning room should be used as such and not as a box storage area.

Hi All.  Found this small vase in North Yorkshire and am hoping someone might recognise the mark.  I've been through my copy of British Studio Pottery Marks with no success.  Glazed on the front in a blue/grey with a series of letters and also the same glaze on the It measures just under 17 cm tall and is 5.5 cm in diameter at the base and weighs 225 gms.  There is the remnant of a label on the base that looks as if it is from the retailer with what appears to be a £ sign.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks for the super quick response. I actually live less than 5 miles away from Mawdesley but travelled over 50 miles to find this. Sometimes life is weird!

Raku pot for ID. Clear mark on the side, not one I'm familiar with. Any help with ID appreciated.

Thanks Naomi, that's grand, bless you
