Studio stoneware vase, tenmoku and copper green glaze,
unmarked or maybe glaze filled.
I’ve had Colin Kellam jars of this shape but not his style of decor.

David Frith, maybe, but I’d expect it to be marked.

I had another look and there is a glaze filled mark. I think I can see part of it. See drawing of partial mark.

The Friths have had a lot of 'students' in their pottery over the years. Regularly running holiday classes. They would have just used the pottery mark. Just looking at a Frith piece now.  There wavy lines on the bottom with a dot on top. But Naomi might well be right (as usual!). That brown glaze used in the stripes is an atypical Frith glaze. Their work is gorgeous!

I think what I’m seeing is a mark and unfortunately not any of the Frith ones.

Possibly Colin Kellam's mark

That’s what I’m thinking too. If it is I think it’ll be a fairly early piece before he went for cockerels and flowers

I wonder about Mark Griffiths? Some of his work is not dissimilar to that. Moreover it could possibly be his mark. Look at his mark on the Mark Griffiths thread.

Thanks Philpot. Could be a possibility. I hadn’t come across Mark Griffiths and have to say I really like what I saw on the thread. I shall keep a look out for his work.
