Picked up this lovely small jug, looks Japanese with incised mark on the base. Any takers and ideas who the potter might be.

I was expecting it to be by Clive Bowen or Winchcombe or Leach St Ives, so I was very surprised by the mark. Not one I’ve come across before. Japanese would be my best guess. There are currently some Japanese studio potters following in the British slipware tradition; They’ve exhibited at the Tokyo St Ives gallery.

Thanks for that. I put myself through college for photography many years ago and gained my certificates, helps a lot with taking my product photos for my shop listings. Saves paying out for a pro photographer. Cheers.

Thanks NaomiM! Very interesting info there, and yes definitely Japanese. Might be one of the Tokyo potters, more research needed.
