another rather nice piece I acquired and absolutely no way can I track it down..... typical doctor's scrawl :D anyone please? Looks a bit scandinavian

Can you add a bigger picture of the whole thing please. 80 pixels is way to small to see anything - around 600 pixels is fine.

Did it have the remnants of a label on it???
Once I lucked out, as an item had had a label on it (but long gone) yet when I dusted the label area (sticky residue area left) the dusting of the ashes still helped to where the label had made contact with the item, and the gluey flat areas helped show where the raised words had no contact with the base.
All I am saying is that IF there is residue left from a label, sometimes a dusting of some ashes over that area will still help to see which areas of the raised label did not make contact with the item - thus I was still able to decipher WHAT the MISSING LABEL had said....all Thanks to the left over residue from the label.
So even if a label is missing - it might still be worth a light dusting of some black ash to see if this will highlight the residue......as any label with raised lettering on it with have areas of contact, and no contact (of the glue) when label had been there.
Always worth a try.....??

no label, found as is

i put it on ebay a couple of times to see if it would generate any interest. I did have several watchers who obviously knew what it was but I took it off before end of auction

I'm no expert on studio pottery but could it be by Alan Caiger-Smith?

mmmmmmm I thought that originally but if it was I would have had bids straight away when I tested it on ebay
-
difficult to know which way up to read it, looks morelike my doctor's scrawl lol

We will just have to keep working at this...

Perhaps Julian Bellmont though?

I have a milk jug and sugar bowl that I am pretty certain are by him despite that the signature on mine are not EXACTLY like the one above or like yours. Both the sig on my jug and the sig on the sugar bowl are different but the same if you know what I mean?
