Small jug

Loving the lustre and colours on this piece but no marks giving me absolutely nothing to go on for my search as there are many similar pieces out there.  Suppose this is a no-goer on it's ID?  BTW what is this type of glaze called?  so much to learn and so little time   

looks like Tenmoku glaze

Very nice.   

why thank you Dan, just read up on it and hopefully that info will sink in lol

blimey...... just looking around on the net now, think it highly unlikely I will ID this unless I can find something with exactly the same design on

keep the faith , someone might recognise the style..is it vaguely oriental looking?

not a clue here but think I shall go eat now as looking at all the tenmoku pottery at this moment is making my eyes glaze lol

don't gaze at the glaze maaaaan....enjoy ur dinner

It's not the shape you'd expect from most UK studio potters. Oriental is a possibility.

................ if it didn't have a handle.

Traditional Japanese and Chinese pouring vessels don't have handles. Hamada was quite amused when Bernard Leach took him to the Lake's Pottery in Truro to see them "pulling" handles.

Nothing to suggest that it isn't from the UK as far as I can see but unless you can match up the pattern of the decoration, which is unusual, it's going to be difficult to say who made it.

It is likely that the large sticky mark on the base is what is left of a paper label with the potter's name, address and telephone number on it.

The circles on the base don't look like what you'd get from a wire cut.

My first thought was John Jelfs or John Christie or Nic Harrison.
