I have a twin handled studio pottery tankard made in red earthenware with an all over brown glaze. Where the two handles join near the base there is a small model of a human head in relief. Is this the potters seal and if so does anyone know who made it? The base has no marks but very distinctive in its form.

Height: 13.5cm

Extraordinary. Not seen anything like that before. I guess it's either a new studio potter or Continental, eg, Hungary.

Two handled tygs were made in Britain in the 17/18th century so it could a British studio potter copying those. However, the indents along the bottom are something that I haven't seen before.
