Hi Guys,
Can anyone help with an ID for this pottery mark please ~ it's on an Art Nouveau / Arts & Crafts style vase and trying to find the maker is  driving me potty  ???

Many thanks in anticipation, John.

Thank you Keith ~ it is rather splendid!
Samuel Lear is the only thing I can come up with too, but the different mark has me puzzled!
Cheers, John.

Is there a Y. Lear or a V. lear???  As that notch on the top looks like a *Y* or a *V* to me -- just as a suggestion??

 :huh:

Thank you! I wondered about that too, but haven't been able to find a V or Y Lear pottery anywhere. Ah well....

Thanks again, John.
