I wonder if anyone can help, I have inherited a number of pots(30 ish )from a relative,this one stands out as it feels good to hold and looks great, I took a local antique shop as I couldn't find one similar of the web ,and all he tried to do was buy it on the spot after disappearing for 5 minutes ,and didn't tell me anything !7" Studio pot HH marking  2014-013

Any clues as to the potter would be great, there is a clear HH as seen in image and evidently they were mostly purchased between 1940 and 1950 and used for photography studies in St Austell. I will invest in the large book advertised on the web but this intrigued me ,by the way the dealer reacted. Many thanks JT.

I suspect that the antiques dealer thought the same but it is not by Henry Hammond from what I can see. The mark and decoration don't look right.

It would be useful to see all of the vase.

Looks more like HLH than just HH in my opinion.

Two images so even better but I agree with Potty that the middle vertical seems to have a kink on the end.

There is a Joyce Haynes in the marks book, 1940s-60s studio potter, with a J through the H monogram

I for one would be very happy to see the other 29 - a different thread for each mind.

 I suppose that it could just be his early mark but I haven't seen anything to convince me either way. All the examples of work from that period that I can find images of have his typical brushwork decoration.

I know that book says that he did wax resist but I would be interested in seeing the example(s) Ed refers to.

It's not like any if the  Henry Hammond marks I've seen. The HH is raised, where as this is impressed, and the line through the middle of the Hs extends to the edge of the stamp, not just to the uprights of the Hs.

The mark that you are describing Naomi is the one that he used for almost all of his working life and you are correct that it isn't like this.

There is a very early mark similar to this but the only example that I can find that is definitely a Henry Hammond pot has the mark clear of any glaze and the glazed area - something that has been the case on all of Hammond's later work that I have seen and handled. That includes a slipware tankard that passed through my hands dating from 1949/50.

I am not saying that this definitely by him , I am saying it should be looked into a little more , he didn't do that many pots after all but he did I gather have a variety , as for a clear mark there was one on maak that could only be described as ineligible and yes I am quoting from the book as to wax resist works , the "pottery studio" bowls look wax /R to me , maybe they aren't Shrugs but that's not to say he didn't as we haven't seen all his work , just think the pot needs further investigating that's all , the HH mark isn't that clear to say for sure .
