Title: Beautiful bit of stoneware - signed Paddy?
Post by: chloe on October 29, 2008, 12:57:40 PM

Does anyone recognise this work at all?  It's incredibly well excecuted, which makes me think it should be 'someone' - but I cant find any studio potter called Paddy!!

Hi chloe, can you get a closer more detailed shot...just in case me are missing something....as sometimes things are just signed quickly and messy...see this link for example:

I dunno --- But found a PADDY BOURKE

There is an address/web site here for info on Paddy Bourke, if you want to ask (contact) how they were signed:

Could try to contact to see types of work -- maybe? Just a suggestion...  ??? :-\
