Van Der Straeten, hands dove mark

May be a lucky find today I think. A 9cm tall tea bowl greenish glaze with incised trees and small red buds. It's a little chipped on the base but not too bad at all. It has incised Van Der Straeten and the date (1962?) which I have only just seen as I took photos...that was one thing I was going to ask!
I have found a couple of other pieces on line and I believe Van Der Straeten was the pottery...or the maker?
If anyone knows more and can help....

Another piece I had in my hand. Why didn't I buy it?
I really don't know, I've lost the plot!

You have to be kidding around with me now dd...because you had the cut out moose in your hand once, and you did buy that! Happy

Yes the Ruthanne Tudball and John Pollex I'd bought, clouded my judgement that day!

I see your point...I liked the moose anyway, let's face it, I've posted plenty of them! (metaphorically speaking)

That bloody moose has entered forum folklore!

The only real information is that the pottery started in 1948 in Linton, Cambridgeshire and was in existence for a long time but little appears to have been written. I feel sure that I knew the first name of the potter once but it's gone. Van der Straeten is his surname.
