Unmarked Studio pottery Stoneware Lidded Pot - Andrew Hague Askrigg Pottery

Hi, this is a nicely made piece but no markings that I can see. Does anyone recognize the style? Thanks for looking.

It looks a very well made professional piece. It takes a lot of skill to make a lid and tight fitting bowl as good as that. Rather in the style of David Leach. Or early Derek Clarkson as he potted up your way.
But the problem is, the decoration is rather generic. As is the piece itself. Without a mark it is almost impossible to identify it correctly. There were a lot of good potters in the 1970's that never carried on with their careers.

Very underrated potter.

Thank you, just had a look at his work and it does look very similar. Amazing knowledge in these groups and everyone is always so helpful

There is one of the same shape on a well known auction site at the moment.
