Blue/purple mottle glaze jug 5" - mark MB? WB? HB?

Post by carolalev on Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:08 pm

Can anyone make any sense of this mark on a jug?

I'm also posting about a bowl with the same mark.

Thanks for looking.

Anyone able to id the mark on this bowl?
My jug posted also shows the second letter more clearly as a B (it could be an R if you only look at this bowl).
Thanks again.

I pick up my bits and pieces mainly at a local auction house in Pontrilas (Wales/ Hereford borders). It could well be local to here.

I’ve merged the two posts because they are by the same Potter

Thank you for merging. I'm getting the hang of it!
Do you think it is MB?

Yes, I think so. I’ll double check the Marks book. Might be a hobby potter but Irish is also a possibility ; their marks aren’t in the book.
