I keep looking but still have no idea who they are by. The clay body mix looks very Nic/Svend.
Nic Collins is a very friendly chap so maybe a couple of images via email to him might bring a result.

I know the name but hadn't seen any of his work or his mark. Potters are generally obliging folk, as Nic has shown.

Yes , nearly every potter I have emailed has sent back a kind response and Tim gent's work is new to me as well , can't find much on the net about him .

Nice Woodfired beaker with natural ash glaze. I don’t recognise the mark; possibly AG. It might be from France. La Borne is one of the co-operatives for woodfiring potters

Brilliant. The beakers gone now but it’s a local mark to know. Thank you.
