Hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum, so if I get someyhing wrong my apologies. I found this coffee pot with a number of other items with the same design in the North-West of England in a box of bric-a-brac. I've done some research and the only thing I can find about the mark - double K's pointing inwards is from the American potter Karen Karnes. However I am certain that it is not from her, as her KK mark is two K's that are a mirror image of each other.

I'm 99.99% certain this is a hand thrown piece.

It measures 9 inches tall (23 cms) - 6 inches (15 cms) across at the widest part (end of spout to end of handle) and is heavy 2lb 14 oz (1.3 kg) - also I'm 99.9% certain it's hand made. There are plenty of links to images of the coffee pot.

The other pieces with the same design (another coffee pot, a tea pot, a cream jug and 6 mugs) have slightly different marks.

The tea pot also has a double K mark but these point inwards, the mugs and cream jug have a single K, and the other coffee pot does not have any mark. Again I'm 99.9% certain these are all also hand thrown.

Any help is much appreciated. Many Thanks

Believe this is Karen Karnes. Her mark hasn't changed much. Sometimes you will see it incised, or of a different stamp, but always the back to back "K"s.

Lid and the pulled handle look like her. Can't say I've seen many decorated works like this. Her current work has become much more abstracted.
