Pretty Ghastly Bottle, ADP / AD mark? - Wilfrid Norton?

Not the most eye-catching of pots but holes are interesting and it's quite well potted - Has anyone seen the mark before?? is it AD or ADP??





Thanks for looking..

Certainly nothing ghastly about it. Its very well potted. However, it does have that certain 'look' of a good deal of well-potted stuff that came out of the 70's boom in studio pottery.

By Wilfrid Norton. Not much biographical info around. This was from Marshall Coleman’s blog:

Wilfrid Norton, a figurative ceramist inspired by Anthroposophy, who was well-known in the 1930s and ran the pottery department at Camberwell school of art, but who is now forgotten.

I wish it was by Wilfred Norton but I'm pretty sure that's not the mark N..

It's also not the quality of his work either - Think he's probably turning in his grave right now...

I will have to check my notes but there was a similar, pierced vase on eBay a few months ago, unattributed, and with a similar bow type mark, which I got very excited about, thinking it was by George Jouve but the mark was far closer to that of Wilfrid Norton

You identified one of my first pots as a Wilfred Norton quite a way back N. that oozed quality and marks are more angulated not round and they're joined, this one, its, well its a bit lame and mark is too rounded

looks a bit like the

Jean Tolkovsky - SP mark UJ mark AJ mark ???

but not like her modern sculptural pieces??
