Salt glazed mugs, single ‘m’ mark.

I would appreciate thoughts on a couple of mugs, salt glazed with a single ‘m’ mark - I’m wondering if these may be early Micki Schloessingk, although the mark, to me, doesn’t look exactly right? Very well thrown and light. Thoughts welcome.

I do see what you mean about the mark. It has subtle differences from her normal mark. On t'other hand,she has had along career and she might well have changed it slightly over the years. The only other potter that used a single M like that was Mary Rich. It is definitely hers tho.
I think it probably is Micki. If only because there have been very few salt glaze potters doing it permanently. She being one of the very few.

I don’t think this is a partial mark, and the style doesn’t seem to fit - I think more likely Micki Schloessingk, partly because as Philpots says there aren’t too many long term salt glaze potters about.

I’ve just realised that before moving to the Gower she potted in North Yorkshire which makes this much more likely, they were with a lot of pots by Northumbrian and Scottish potters and I was thinking South Wales was a bit out of the way, but maybe these are pre 1987 when she was making salt glazed tableware in Bentham, North Yorkshire?
