David Wright

Picked them up at Hungerford arcade. Possibly by a local potter, but unmarked. Hoping someone recognises them.

I think they are by David Wright. Came across a similar pair, but with taller foot rims, on his blog & website:

I did buy one of the pots with a wire handle as shown on the front of his web site from him at Hatfield this summer and it is marked but I agree that the bowls from Hungerford do look very much like the bowls on the blog.

He was a very nice man (but I had just bought something) so I think that you should contact him.

I'll do that, studiopots. I've seen his mark on his website, and they may be unmarked simply because their bases are too small for the stamp.

I also got the impression that he had only started taking his pottery seriously in recent years (maybe incorrectly) so your bowls might pre-date that.

David Wright yunomi. Bearing his DW dw mark on the base. He uses a couple of old typewriter keys to make the mark.
