Featured Help ID Big Studio Pottery Vase

Ran into this at the local chazza and just couldn't leave it be. It's free of cracks,dings,fleabites and factory flaws (miraculous for a thrift), it's also 1 foot high-BUT MOSTLY, it was 3 bucks !
I rarely buy Studio Pottery- it's generally competently made, but rarely brilliant stuff. Plus there's the always impossible to read signature- making it impossible to monetize...but 3 buckaroos ?
I'd really appreciate some input on the signature and date, the help'd be great. I think I'm reading it correctly, but the more eyeballs the better-big thanks.

 

I get YOUNGREN...an 2-30-
The pot looks MC to me; grainy clay, speckled glaze.
Bit the 'date' is enigmatic.
I'd have grabbed it too, Bosko.

 

A bit of Bri'ish lingo there, bosko?

 

I wondered 'bout that as well, AJ!

 

I picked that up from me mate Charlie, love that UK and London slang. Bear use to come up with some great London words too.
PS-Be nice if they popped-in.
PSS- Also enjoyed the terms brocantes or vide-greniers, which I think (may be off) Rachel used ?

 

Lovely bit of studio pottery. D? Youngren/Youngrer? And 2-30 may not be a date. From the clay type, glaze and form, I'm thinking latter 1970s/80s when this type of stoneware was popular.

 

for 3 smackers..... you walk away with that puppy .... every time !!!!

intersting find !!!!

 

Georgia?

 

G Youngren or something like that. For $3 it was hard to miss. The weight would have chased me off. Studio pottery can get very heavy, and that thing would hurt to lift.

 

Thanks All-D.Youngren/Youngrer/G.Youngren/ Georgia ? ALL guesses welcome !
Komo- Couldn't leave it, plus I knew it'd be a fun sleuthing project for Us.
Ruth-It is heavy, luckily I can still do strength training (so far !)
Chin-Could be 'Georgia'.
Kent- European form 7 w/ a slash thru the middle ?

 

Afraid G Youngler is not turning up any potters.
