STUDIO POTTERY COFFEE CUP - mystery MC mark

Post by Marcusborra on December 19th 2013, 8:59 pm

Could you please help me to id this coffee cup with an impressed potters seal below the handle. There are a few possibilities but I am reluctant to speculate so will leave it to the more experienced experts to name it ( if possible).
Height 8.5cm

He was one that I thought it could be by, but I haven't seen an actual example or photo of his mark, only a drawing.

On reflection, it's probably not Cole's mark:

Looks a little like Maxwell Cowlin's mark, but, again, there are differences.

Is there any reason why the initials can't be read as CM ?
