Featured old or vintage fish ceramic tile, signed W

hello good fellows

found this at a boot sale yesterday, it was cheap so doesnt really matter if not too old

measure 6" by 6"

cant seem to find the mark anywhere

any thoughts or help appreciated

 

I think that is your mark, with the 4 and 3 and a cross, right there in the last picture.

I love it, the loose way it is painted, the broad lines of water in front of the fish, everything suggesting movement.

 

thanks Aj, yeah i like it as well

what sort of period springs to mind with it ?

 

This is not my area of expertise, but it looks 60s to me.

 

yeah, i do get the sort of feeling from the base as well

you mean to tell me that there are some things you don't know !!!, i dont belive it !!

 

I'm with you Charlie!

 

I get the impression the mark is lower down in the first photo.

 

hi mate, yeah that is a little circle with a 15 in it

but just found another mark underneath that reading

BCM / C(or G)W & S

 

thanks INH

youve done it again !!

ever thought about solving crime, youd make a great private detective !!

 

it looked pretty darn close

ill look into richards tiles

 

I strongly suspect this is an art or hobby potter who bought an unglazed blank and decorated it - that, or double fired it. I'd stick it on the British Studio Pottery ID Facebook page.

 

Looks like a Japanese Koi fish.
Signed with a "W" on the front?

 

thanks cc49

i think your right, its face does look like a carp
