i love this planter; Asian mark (not colin pearson)

Colin Pearson?????
Do not mean to be negative, but Colin Pearson's later work is associated with superb 'Winged' pots with little decoration. Sorry, but the over fussy decoration is a world away from Colin Pearson. Simply speaking. It is not his work.

Now im confused as Bonhams said it was Oh well thank you anyway

okay thank you both I shall investigate more Apperciate your comments

I really MUST go to Specsavers. I read "It's a moulded planter" as "It's a mouldy planter", which I thought was a bit insensitive. Then I read "Best to take it to Adam Partridge for appraisal" as "Might as well take it to Alan Partridge for appraisal", which would also be a bit rude.

Did I read that right?
Bonhams said that it was Colin Pearson?
Wonder who their studio pottery 'expert' is?

My apologies. I did not mean any aspersions as to yourself. The comment genuinely was all about Bonhams. For near two decades in he 90's and early 2000's. they WERE the main auction house for Studio pottery. A Bonhams seal of approval on a piece was the best assurance you could possibly get. Now it seems the direct opposite is true.

Thank you I for one wont be returning to them
