Can you remember the name? Closest in the Marks book is Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi, who was training at Leach Pottery St Ives in the 1920s

No idea - he was considered a national treasure so I was told - I have photos of his kilns if that is a help

That could be useful. The Marks book says he was a kiln expert, making stoneware, and helped build Pleydell-Bouverie's kiln
I've moved it to ID My Pottery until we're sure of the attribution

Not by Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi, as he died in the 1930s. But possibly another member of the family: Asahi family of pottery in Uji, Kyoto
