Marked in that way, it's more than likely to be an amateur piece.

It is a nice piece. But professionals nearly always mark there work with a stamp or more rarely, a painted signature. The style looks very late 60's/70's. Way back then pottery was a Very fashionable occupation. Part of the back to the Earth lifestyle, swinging 60's blah! So a lot of competent potters did some training. But the market was just no big enough for them. So the majority stopped. I think this is one of those people.
We get items like this quite frequently. But unfortunately, they are a dead end.

Dear Philpot and Denby
Thanks as always for your kind replies. Greatly appreciated.
I must admit that I too think that an ID of the maker is highly unlikely but still wanted to post the piece because it is a well conceived and executed. As such one sometimes hopes beyond hope that the mark of such a piece may mean something to someone!
Thanks again
