I know this is Leach pottery, does anyone recognise the makers mark?

Like Ed the mark is difficult to make out but could it be CD?

Could it be Judy Gardner, who was there in the early 50s?

Yes, I think that was his early mark when he was in the UK at Leach Pottery, and this is his US mark. He also has a JO underlined in a triangle. But I'll double check

Mark looks full of glaze. Might be why it looks different

His marks are in circles, triangles, rectangles and even a hexagon :) He's been potting for a long time.

Possibly Judy Gardiner but I think it's still a mystery. Worth asking Leach Pottery as I think they are collecting past marks

I think this is Jeff Oestreich, an American who apparently was an apprentice at the Leach pottery, 1969-1971.

Edited to say: Confirmed by Jeff Oestreich that this is his early mark from his time as an apprentice at St Ives

I sent the images to the Leach Museum and they said that they can't ID this mark.

This is what a very helpful Joanna said.
