this has been bugging me all week

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350475373658&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&autorefresh=true

I have been trying to id this pot for days now with no success,can anyone enlighten me please?

Looks like it should be other way up DW or WD, there definately seems to be a vertical line that makes it a D not a C. I reckon they were hoping for a Cardew connection and judging by the amount of page views so did a lot of people.

I also thought DW or WD, could not find a match tho sorry.

i saw this too, but concluded it was a "wa" but not Cardew

yes I went through all of the above mentioned possibilities but found no match the mark looks like one that I should know but it seems not.

The DW looks familiar, but the pot looks awful .

yeah I hated the pot too,otherwise I would have had a punt

well I ndidn't see this terrible pot so was saved all that worry about the mark;;;;;;; until this post came along

I think its a case of the mark being more interesting than the pot, of course if it had been Cardew it would have been hundreds irrespective of the pot. People will always pay for a quality potters mark

Sadly you are right Dave , ( never mind the quality -look at the seal)
I saw a bernard leach vase and a lucie rie bowl last week and to be very honest they were really awful ,nothing like what they were capable of , the vase was as plain as grey , the bowl would have been better used as a dog bowl , but I suppose it's to be expected that a lot of rubbish was produced by all the big names , they can't all be masterpieces

yea but thats what youall have been doing!!!! (I'm just as bad)

but non of us bid on it.....did we?

nope

No , we didn't bid coz the pot was carp , but no harm in trying to id the seal mark

all I'm saying is if you had identified the mark and it was a top name you may well of bid even tho you didnt likre the pot no offense we all do it

Tut Tut, I do hope the maker is not a member on here . On a positive note I wish all makers would mark their wares as well as this one

No offence taken Paul , yes you are right , if it was a top name , I would buy it if it was dead cheap , but only to resell and buy something else ,who wouldn't ? there's no sentiment in business ,but deffo not to keep it
