ASHLEY HOWARD

Can anyone help please, the nearest I can find to the mark is Ashley Howard but not exactly as the book. Or is it home made? Thanks for any help.

Looks like Ashley Howard's mark

Thanks Naomi   

... but the work doesn't look like anything I have seen by him.

I believe that he hasn't been using porcelain for very long and the examples that I have seen have bright colours splashed on them.

So I'm doubtful it's by Ashley Howard.

You could email him to get a definitive answer.

They are mostly colourful pieces , but there is a teaset that is quite plain .

Thanks a lot   Yes I wasn't sure as the top of the A looks a little shallower than the book. Im a bit rubbish at e mails though  

Just post AH a pic or two and politely ask if they have any info , muchas gracias .

Thanks ED I will and will post back reply : )

Potters are a friendly breed and Ed pointing out the teaset, which I hadn't seen, makes it more likely to be his jug.

Thanks SP, just sent some pic's and a polite enquiry. Will update if I receive a reply . Kindest : )

Maybe too soon to expect a reply, but haven't received one as yet.

Ed, I did see that tea set and the jug shape is almost identical, also have seen the mark on one of Ashley's tea bowls and it has a shallower topped A just like mine.

So I definitely thinks its Ashley's work. (even if he says it isn't)   

Yes you have to give them time to give an answer , I agree if you don't get the result you want from a potter just tell them they are mistaken and you know better   ( remember the true mesiah always denies that he is )

Cool, they make so many they're bound to forget the odd one or two  

He's probably busy as he's got an exhibition in a week or so in ST Ives I think, it's on his web site.

Ashley Howard has put his mark on his website, so I'm confident this is the same mark.

In Contemporary Ceramics August 2021.

A heavy brightly glazed Ashley Howard bowl. More atypical of his early style. Unfortunately, not marked.
