Topic: Hi - Can anyone help with this studio pottery vase

[seandux]

Hi.  This is my first post on this board so I hope I've get it right.  Any advice about changes please let me know.

I found this piece of studio pottery in Huddersfield (West Yorkshire, UK) in a charity shop and hope that someone may be abler to identify date & maker.

There is an impressed mark on the base (see attached images).

It measures 16 cms tall x 18 cms wide x 5 cms deep and weighs 900 gms.

I've attached 3 images to this post (front, back and mark) and also 3 images on a reply (as suggested - both side views and the top view).

As said any help would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome, been a bit quiet here recently can't help myself but others might be able to, I'll check my books but they are a bit old and this looks quite 'new'

Hi All. Not sure if this helps, but looking more closely at the impressed mark I'm almost certain that it's 2 letters inter-twinned - looking one way it could either be CP or GP, turning the vase over it could be either DG or DQ. Does that help anyone?

Did have a look, no luck but I hadn't considered it might be a Q, back to the books...

Hi.  Think I've found the mark - Cooper Pottery - 1960's / 1970's.  However I cannot find out any info (i.e. potters).  Do you have any information?  Thanks

Hi and welcome to the board! I'm not 100% convinced this is Cooper Pottery - the mark is slightly different - sufficiently so for me to be doubtful...  I'll have a mooch through my ref stuff and see what I can find too.
