An opinion of an expert in Beatrice Wood pottery:

I can't say for certain that this work is by Beatrice Wood. There are little things that raise doubts in the form, foot and signature - though the glaze is very nice.
I wish I could give you a clean cut yes or no. I can say that there is enough doubt that if someone brought it to the Center to have me offer it as a secondary market piece, I would have to pass, unless they had some sort of documentation that made me feel otherwise.
All the best,
