Slipware pot: Hugh Perry, Kingsand Pottery, KP Stamp

Marked with a KP, says in the book Hugh Perry was at Kingsand Pottery 1977-1989 and "made traditional earthenware and one off designs". I was wondering if this is Hugh Perry's work?... it looks like the KP stamp is the Kingsand one. His latest work is really different!
Any opinions would be welcome.

I have a slipware piece with this mark attributed to Kirton Pottery

Hugh Perry isn't in my 1999 copy of the BSPM, and they have a different mark for Kirton Pottery so I can't verify

I can't find anything about Kingsand Pottery or any example marks apart from what's in the 2015 edition (only one I have). This is the section, just thought I'd show the mark as it's all I'm going on so it's a bit of a shot in the dark.
(It's my own photo but if I'm not allowed to post this I'll take it off)

A mention in the 1987 "AA Craft Workshops in the English Countryside", which confirms he was the proprietor and not just an employee: "Traditional English slipware pots for oven and table use".
