Hi again, this one is one of my current faves. It's very heavy and thick at the base, becoming thinner at the top. A bit asymmetrical. Glaze looks a bit like lichen colours to me. AB mark.

If you don't recognise the mark, still interested in other info such as what is the style / glaze called.

Thanks!
