snail mark, Paul Cartledge, Oz Street Pottery (not Jacqui Ramrayka)

I love the colour of this but I can't find the mark - partly because I don't know how to describe it!

It could be a snail but perhaps a fruit of some kind.

Might be a snail or a bird or a bunch of knitting :) I've never worked it out. Anyway it might be Jacqui Ramrayka

I thought it was by Jacqui Ramrayka but the stamp is more of a snail than her usual mark

Oz Street has a snail mark very like this, I have 3 pieces with a clear snail mark but cannot show them as pix won't load. The snail tail on mine may be a little longer but it is very similar. The clay is a similar colour but the striations on the bottom, while also very similar, are curved on my pots. The base of the handle is similar, with that pinched triangular shape, although I would like to see a fuller picture of it to be sure. One of the small jugs I have has a brown speckly glaze like the one in the picture.Oz Street's forms are very economical and assured, as is the form of this large jug. I am very fond of my pieces, I like his style.
Oz Street was the professional potting name for, I believe, Paul Cartlidge (unsure of spelling) who taught ceramics somewhere. He has now retired and uses his original name. I bought all three pieces at a ceramics gallery called The Green Man in Pickering, and they gave me this information.

Cheers, I’ll check it out

There is mention of Kathy and Lee Cartledge who ran Bentham Pottery
