    Any information will be greatly appreciated. Ive tried for a while to find makers with the name Francois. What does trans even mean? Thank you for your time. image1.jpeg image1.jpeg image1.jpeg image7.jpeg image1.jpeg image7.jpeg image1.jpeg image7.jpeg image3.jpeg image11.jpeg image9.jpeg image2.jpeg image1.jpeg

    Where does it say François? I only see the banner with TRANS.

    Edit: Found it.:eggface:

    I think François made it in 1994 -- studio pottery, I guess.

    Do you have a link to this? I have not been able to find anything about a Francois stoneware.

    It looks like a lid to a stoneware crock. How big is it - a little mustard pot, or storage jar? The style of the lettering on "Francois" looks quite streamlined, which might put the origin of the logo, at least, in the 1930s-40s.

    Or it was model 94, which would be my guess.

    IXIV doesn't really make any sense in Roman numerals, although as Any suggests it might be used to mean 9 4. If the first letter/numeral is actually an L it might mean 64.

    I think it's studio pottery and they were being clever to write 94 in ersatz Roman numerals. I think it's a bulb bowl

    Yup. Studio pottery for sure, and somebody got cute with the roman numerals.

    I can't see the whole item so hard to tell if it's factory or studio made.
