I have a rather nice handsome jug and the sig on the base looks like my Doctor's signature ; :24: Spent hours going through my book and can't find anything that looks remotely like it. I can't even tell the right way up :24: :24: Any ideas anyone please? thanks

The "signature" (scribble ;D) on the left is shown in my copy of British Studio Potters' Marks (Yates-Owen & Fournier) p.40. "Dated 1980-83 thrown by David Small decorated by Susan." i.e. Susan Bennett. "Thrown decorative stoneware, functional pieces including candleholders & planters. Commemorative plates, mugs, trophies, figures, etc." Not sure what the other squiggle is though...

WOW Anne, how the heck did you decifer that into any letter ;D, have checked in my copy as I have the same one as you and actually passed those marks when I went through my whole book, I think by the time I got so far all the marks were starting to look the same :24:
Blimey you are right, thanks everso hon, phew........that's another one off my list

It's the way you stand :24:
Found it purely by luck, but I often look for the shape as opposed to the "initials".
It's really difficult to know which way up these things should be read???
