Fish vase by Christofer, Crete

I now have two of these, the first has a mark reading 'Hand Made, Christoff, Crete'; I am sure the second is made at the same place but the stamp is partially obscured. Has anyone come across anything similar?


The first is 10" and this one is smaller..say 6".


Many thanks.

Hi,does anyone recognise this signature? Would really appreciate any suggestions,someone suggested it may be persian?thanks in advance!

I suspect it's been brought home from holiday from somewhere like Tenerife or Australia

Probably by Christofer Crete

Cool, that would make sense, could just mean 1981 Crete then.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all

I picked up this vase last weekend for £3 but can't identify the maker. I did post on the Mystery Pots Facebook page but thought I'd consult the hive mind here as not everyone crosses over to social media.

It's 10" high and very reminiscent of Christopher, Crete but the mark is very different. The nearest I can track down on Google is an Anglo-Turkish potter called Nazo Kearsley, trading as AYA, but she seems to have gone into radio silence a few years ago.

It's really lovely thing but would be even nicer if I knew who'd made it!

Thanks

Dave

Thanks! That's what I'd been leaning towards (in which case, three quid is a good price!) but the mark is a puzzle as it's so different.

Yes, I believe so
