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??

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.
