Featured Studio pottery bowl

I found this last Sunday and I am still struggling to ID the pottery. It looks like CA on the base but notv100% on that. Ø=22cm. Any ideas please?

 

Its nice but studio pottery is nigh on impossible to identify most of the time. I went thru a phase with studio pottery and learned that the hard way.

 

If you rotate the mark it looks rather like a dollar sign or maybe SH or something like that. Where was it found?

 

I dunno. I've had varying degrees of success. For pottery this side of the pond there is a website with a search tool. You can enter the letters in the makers mark and it produces results. As long as you can make the letters out you have half a chance.

 

Ooh more permutations. I was thinking GA perhaps. One horizontal line for the A and the other for the G. Still no luck though. I'll have a look at your suggestions thanks. I found it in NW UK.

 

I think there is a Facebook page for studio pottery ID, but dunno if it's just US or others

 

Thank you.

 

This mark is very similar other than it is drawn on whereas as mine is incised. Sinclair Sheen from Aldermaston pottery. Funnily enough, when I was doing Google lens searches on the bowl, it yielded lots of Alan Caiger Smith results, who founded Aldermaston pottery.

 

I have the book British Studio Pottery Marks by Yates-Owen and Fournier. I had only made a cursory pass through it when you posted your possible maker.

The way they list it in the book, I believe Sinclair is the last name (though I like the way it sounds in any order).

Anyway, here is some of what there is, if you haven't found it elsewhere. We're in a winter storm at the moment so I might get a chance to browse through the book more later.



From a different pottery but similar mark

 

Thanks. Out of all of the marks it looks most like sheen's, although sheen's two lines join to make a v whereas mine is two definite distinct lines. I had found bits online. Not come across the year cyphers though and didn't know Sheen went it alone at a Sussex studio. I will look into it. I hadn't found a great deal of info about him at all rreally. Good luck with the storm.

 

The problem is that Aldermaston exclusively made tin-glazed earthenware, which this certainly isn't.

 

Thanks. Good point well presented. I was having doubts in that I couldn't find another example of an incised mark by Aldermaston. Back to the drawing board I guess.
