Studio Pottery Vase, PB mark, possibly Paul Berman? Thoughts?

Hi all,

First time posting so fingers crossed the images below work correctly!  





I have this beautiful piece of studio pottery and after a research thought it to be by Paul Berman, based on its maker's stamp, but stylistically it doesn't exactly match his style of work? Would anyone be able to identify this for me?

Thanks so much!

I don’t think it’s by Paul Berman but I can’t suggest anyone else; might be his later work but it looks like it has some age to it. He has just retired but you may be able to contact him. https://www.brookgallery.co.uk/artist.php?arid=338

Thanks so much Naomi, it has me stumped for sure... (one of a number of pieces that have me confused tbf, so I may drip feed them on this fab site to pick brains!) I'll contact them via that link and see if they can help. Thanks again

Is there a dot in the bottom left corner, underneath the P? Berman's mark doesn't have a dot. I'm not finding anything in the Marks book.
The decoration looks more like Paul Gooderham's, but it's not one of his recorded marks

Hi Naomi, Yes i believe it could be a dot, though even on close inspection I couldn't say for sure. Agreed that is is stylistically closer to Paul's work, and purchased not too far from his base in the West Midlands so i'll do some further digging I think. Thanks again for your input and help!
