Mid Century vase  LLC?  L LOW…….
Brutalist May be better description. It is heavy - maybe student piece.
Glazed inside, white and green typical of 1960s pieces.
Impressed mark LLC perhaps.
Paper label L LOW..D.S perhaps.
?

I traced the mark out. I think it’s two letters, maybe based on Old English? L and V fonts, but haven’t found a match. Might not be British

Thanks Naomi.
Very unusual lettering. Glazes are certainly colours I’ve seen a fair bit on 1950s and 60s British studio pieces.

The name lyn lovitt comes to mind. If you do a Google images for the work, you will see quite a bit of experimental sculpture work, and also various distortions of basic ceramci forms. It just looks like the sort of work that is vaguely similar to this.

Thanks Philpot,
She’s a new name for me to watch out for - I do like her sculptural pieces. Looks like a different monogram to this one unfortunately. But I do realise potters change their marks.

I scraped some of the paper and I think I can read the label - L LOW and NFS .
Not sure that’s going to help.
