Re: 1960s vase with JT incised mark
SP for me the odd thing about this one that hits me immeatiatly are those x6 lattice scratch mark as decoration. They look like a tiger had a go at it, and he as not a happy tiger at the time. Not pleasing on the eye and just odd?, not seen before, uncomfortable.
Re: 1960s vase with JT incised mark
The lines do look a bit superfluous. Fairly competent but nothing at all great. The sort of thing I would make a brief inspection of a a Boot Sale, and pass on.
The only incised JT mark I can think of is Janice Tchalenko. She lived in Dulwich. She would have been 19 in 1961 ideal for this being a student piece. Her early work was in the vaguely Leach/Cardew area. But it does not look like her signature tho.
But do you something more than we do Studio?

Re: 1960s vase with JT incised mark
This vase belongs to someone that I have known for probably 30 years and he's in the "rag trade" but collects art, design and pottery as a hobby. He lives in the Hampstead area of London and gets most of his pieces from local house clearance people he knows, who tend to offer him paintings and art object. Therefore it probably came from a "good" home. I can see why you all feel that it's a student piece/hobby potter and you could well be correct but to me it just seemed to be a little better than that. However, I am not saying that you are all wrong and I'm right.
I had ruled out Janice Tchalenko but I came across a name of a CPA member from the 1960s called John Turner but have been unable to find any examples of his work. Therefore, my query was to see if anyone knew anything about his work.

Re: 1960s vase with JT incised mark
it looks to have been vandalised rather than decorated

Re: 1960s vase with JT incised mark
If it came from a good home then the previous owners might have been able to afford to take up pottery as a hobby.

They could also have bought it for 50p in a charity shop but, knowing the area, it would more likey have been £3.

Looking at an old CPA potters book. John and Kate Turner worked for several years with Louis Hannsen in his Hampstead studio. Then in Norfolk. However their mark illustrated in the book is a Lower Case t, entirely on its own.
