USA Flower pot Jardiniere with CC Mark

Hello all, Does this C C mark look familiar to anyone? Thank you.

I may be wrong, but it looks like Pat Hammonds' work, Clifford Ceramics.

Unlikely to be British

The mark isn't familiar but it is wood-fired stoneware and, I suspect, made in the States and likely to have been from around where it was found by you.

I don't doubt what you both say, reference it not being British, my knowledge on studio pottery is sketchy at times, but what is it I am not seeing / missing that makes this so obvious to you both? I only ask because I would be glad to learn something new. Is it that the majority of pots in the US are wood fired, or something else?

The owner lives in the US

But to add, our woodfirers are few and far between and so their work is quite well known. And the colours are different, probably because of a combination of clay type and species of wood - off the top of my head, spruce v’s hard wood?

Lol, I'll pop my glasses on
Thanks Naomi. I'll scroll ebay for American pots, try and familiarise myself a little more.

The shape also influenced me as it is not traditional Japanese or something I have seen in the UK.

Thank you Studio, much appreciated.
I thought I recognised the mark so I checked the book. Having googled her work I put 2 & 2 together and came up with ……

That is a problem with "the book" in general. It's my view that the marks are only useful to confirm an identification not to make one.

That makes a great deal of sense.

Thank you all for your help!!
