Pottery Mark Identification: Heart with Rays?

Discussion in 'Pottery, Glass, and Porcelain' started by Carnivant, Nov 5, 2024.

    Hello!

    This was a recent thrift store purchase. It's a small, well-made vase that is glazed on the inside and with some sort of seed depicted on the outside. The bottom has a distinctive mark which appears to be a heart with rays, although it is neither something I recognize nor something I have been able to find online.

    So... perhaps someone here reconizes the mark? Any help appreciated, of course. :)

    Chris Bramble?

    The C looks decent, but I have not been able to find an example of a Chris Bramble piece using something different than the bush mark. It seems he also has a daughter who makes pottery (Freya Bramble-Carter), but the only mark I found by her was her name, signed.

    Closest match I have seen, but I'm thinking not quite that one. Thank you though! :)

    It looks like the Sacred Heart.

    After I replied, I took a bteer look at the marks, and also thought it would be 'close, but no cigar'.
    It does indeed look like a heart with rays, but I'm also seeing a bird-like head, and a shape of legs, as if it's some kind of tribal figure with a heart in it

    That's actually the reason why I ended up finding the Bramble mark. I googled for 'birdman''heart' 'pottery mark' and his mark came up as one of the results

    Interesting interpretation. I wasn't seeing a bird, although there is definitely something below the heart. If the mark wasn't weak in that area, perhaps the whole thing would be easier to identify. This is what I'm seeing. x)
