Blue crackle-glaze vase Raku?
Hello,
Can anyone help me ID this?
It's a lovely deep purple-blue glaze. Not sure if it might be Raku as the clay almost looks smoke-stained.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
Dan

what does it smell like? Raku often stinks

It looks like raku and smoke staining is part of that process. Raku pots usually feel lighter than you expect.

Definitely raku but I don't recognise the mark. Is it an L? Maybe another photo would help?

Thanks for your suggestions. It doesn't smell, it's actually quite heavy - probably about what you'd expect as the walls are quite thick.
Sorry I should have mentioned about the mark - it's an S.
I've looked around and can't find anything quite like it.
Does anyone have any ideas of date?
Thanks

Can you post a better photo of the mark?

Hopefully this shows it a little clearer - taken with the flash. The indentation is only about 5mm across and pressed quite deeply into the clay. It does look a bit like the photo you've linked to...

It's the right way up on my iPhone
Shirley Shiner has a raised S where a this one looks the opposite. I don't know if she's ever changed her mark

Yes, I see what you mean. Do you think it looks like her work?

You'd have to ask her. She's been potting for a long time, and makes both porcelain and raku pieces. She's currently potting at West Street Potters, at the old Farnham pottery.
