Hello - I found this small jug with a John Leach pamphlet inside, but the mark is a sunbeam. From the marks book, it looks like Richard Godfrey. Do you think that's a correct id? I'm unsure, as it looks quite different to his usual style. Thank you :)

I don't think this was in the marks book, it's like an X with an extra line. Any ideas? Thank you...

This certainly looks like Richard Godfrey's mark. I think the jug must be by him as well because of the similarities in clay and glaze, but the stamp on the handle is just for decoration

After seeing the similar bowl with Godfrey's mark, this must be by him too

Ah wow, that's interesting - thank you

I wouldn't have guess that, thank you. I will have to look into his work...

Wouldn't you say that mark was a scallop shell? Either in its own right or representing some pilgrim connotation?

It could be!
