the aforementioned pots, much better than I had expected, the dogs are as funny as a joke told during a tickling break in a laughing gas factory

After seeing these I think I have I'd a small vase I own.

Out of interest Dan, are these unmarked and can you feel the decoration on the inside? (Where it has been firmly / deeply impressed)

this is the potter Potty I can't remember if the dog vase was marked or not

sorry

Thanks Dan, he style of impressing floral patterns into the clay seems quite unique, so I am fairly sure the vase I have is his, it's one of the items of pottery we actually use, we keep pens in it

Surprised we don't have a Fierek thread, despite the number of pieces that turn up in the charity shops.

I have tried putting in the letters in different ways but cannot find anything. The vase measures 4 inches high. Thank you

A similar vase with fuller mark.
