Help in identifying chop. Mingei style bottle vase, R mark

Hi,

Got interesting appraisal on this bottle vase at an Antique Roadshow event in North Carolina. She said possibly a Leach student. I have checked mark with no luck so far. Any help appreciated. 

Cheers, John

Not one I recognise. I’m not making out anything in the stamp below the R mark, but it’s not a Leach St Ives Pottery stamp

To me it looks like a pilgrim flask. But this is a new shape to me does not ring any bells. They would normally be flasks with loops, not square and not have feet. So it's a distinctive shape - not generic. That may help your quest.

The photos don’t show the full shape and base of the vase but that style of foot is more common in the US but that method of marking is very Leach-like; US potters are more likely to sign the pot. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are possibilities

Added pictures. Many thanks for the comments. Very helpful

Cheers. Sometimes we just have to wait for another one to turn up. Looks very well made so there must be more out there
