Produces functional and sculptural pieces in has a highly recognisable style.
He is also a painter.
Here is the most recent addition to my collection:

Thrown and altered with some slab building.
Must be a "Marmite Pot", I love it and my wife hates it

It's much more wonky in person (intentionally! 
) It's also nowhere near as heavy as you'd think.

Not someone I'm familiar with so I went onto his website and was rather disappointed. There was nothing on there as good as your vase, which looks superb.
I suppose that the twee pieces pay the bills?

I actually like a lot of his "twee" pieces too, especially some of the comical animal sculptures.
Though I suspect your right and they are probably far more commercially popular than my vase is
Would it surprise you to find out is has a copper lustre finish? (Not all over though and the lustre itself has been sgraffito decorated)

The taller narrower one went for more than I was prepared to pay
The one I bought I bought went for exactly my max bid
Never thought it would be something you liked, or I probably would have done!

Stoneware Fish dish

A dish with a slight 3-d effect on the rim. Could it be Dart? No marks visible.

I've come across this decoration before but it might take me a while to remember it. Not Dart. I think it's Willie Carter

Yes it maybe. The pinks greens and blues are similar to my coffee can on the thread.

Thought I would throw my Willie into the mix, better late than never.
I think he enjoyed decorating this, no space has been spared.

Yes, another potter who takes time to decorate areas that would not normally be seen.
