Re: Painted AB mark - probably Alan Beastow (not Alan Brough)
It doesn't look like any pot of Alan Brough's that I have seen and all of the ones that I have seen have had an impressed seal. It could be though but I would need more convincing.

Amazing coincidence I say this piece and realised a similar mark on one of my pots. Mine looks like the one on the studio pottery site, it has a kick under the "B" but remarkably similar, hope this helps

I've seen several pots on ebay with a written AB mark attributed to Alan Brough. I know we should take ebay attributions with a pinch of salt, but it does look very similar to the monogram on the tile on StudioPottery

Yes, the mark from the StudioPottery site is really similar, that's what made me think it's Alan's pot. However as studio-pots mentioned the seal mark would be more convincing. Great stuff Clara, it looks like we all can find something useful on this forum

studiopottery.com is not always a reliable source of information either, there are errors on the site (I'm not saying this is one, I don't know), if you contact them about incorrect information you do not get any reply.

I'm wondering if it's AW - maybe a variation of Alan Ward's mark

They are not the only ones

Interesting lead Naomi, I have found some items on ebay with AW's mark. They do look similar.

Alan Brough? Alan Bleestow?
James Hazlewood, who is working on the revised edition has contacted this site and I for one have pointed out a few things that need changing to him.
Unfortunately, it is an endless task trying to up date everything and at some point it needs to be published so there are always going to be mistakes or additions not made.
