<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4432883, member: 7360"]This unusual jug came in a recent small lot of European pottery. Members have been incredibly helpful in identifying a Catalan jug, so I'm hoping you will also be successful with this one. The style is strangely familiar but I haven't been able to place it. It has something impressed on the base but I've twisted and turned the jug and really can't read it. I think I can distinguish an "A" one or two letters from the end of the short name, but that could be Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France . . . (The interesting shiny area to the left is just sticker residue I need to get rid of.) There is what looks like an "W" at the bottom of the base.[ATTACH=full]379793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379795[/ATTACH] The only thing I'm fairly sure about is it isn't British. The colour is a lot duller than some of the photos, but I've used the flash to show the detail. It is about 9 inches high. I actually bought the job lot to obtain this, but the bit of stray brown glaze which has given the girl an odd moustache has rather put me off! If I (you) could identify the potter, then I could try to sell this and keep more of the other pieces while still breaking even, which is my usual goal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
