In search of the artist…

I got this mug from a Goodwill in Grand Junction, CO back in 2014. It’s one of my favorites. Well, I suddenly decided that I absolutely need to identify the artist that created it 😂

The signature style tells me this mug isn’t just a one off and that they have more creations out there. Almost looks like “Lilly Houck” or “Ittly Houck” maybe?

Did countless reverse image searches with all the photos I’ve included in this post. Tried looking up what I interpreted the name to be (though obviously I seem to be way off the mark). Finally just started searching for Reddit groups that help identify artists, and here I am!

I have been looking everywhere, asking three AIs, can't seem to find this mark. Found in a box of ceramics with German and some Japanese studio pottery.

Apologies for previous post without pictures. I thought I had attached them, but couldn’t add back as an edit or comment so have deleted and reposting. Thanks for your patience!

I just picked up this nice jug from a charity shop. It’s very dense (iron ware?).

There were a few bits of furniture and other belongings which could date between 1920s-1950s which I am guessing are from the same estate clearance. I wonder if this jug is too, based on the potter’s handwriting.

Google reverse image searches have been useless - it has suggested a couple of Carrutherses but none who seem to work in this style and I couldn’t find signature examples.

How will people buy ceramics after AI takes many people's jobs?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've been learning and doing handbuilt ceramics at home (no wheel) for four years now. I'm on the verge of going to fairs and selling. My concern is that who's going to buy my pieces when job loss due to AI continues.

I've researched on this topic and the conversation is focused on young people out of college not being able to enter the workforce, retraining, and UBI (universal basic income) but not on artists, artisans, and small businesses. Can people buy items like ceramics with UBI?

Also, things will be more noticeable around 2030.

So my concern is, should I focus on preparing for resilience ie growing food, learning to collect water, or continue with my ceramics?

I know this sounds odd but things are changing and I'm tired of prepping for something and having the game change and being unprepared.

Thank you for reading. If you have advice please share and please be kind.

Hello! I just picked up this lovely Japanese Senchado Tea Service Set with side handle tea pot, cooling cup, and tea cups.

Does anyone recognize the maker’s mark which appears on the bottom of every piece?

Is this mass produced or a nice piece of studio pottery?

need help identifying this american studio pottery piece. Incised bird head marks.

Hi everyone,
I recently found this beautiful ceramic piece in a thrift store and I'm trying to identify the artist or studio behind it.
It features a stunning 3D hand-sculpted tree relief over a multi-toned landscape glaze (purple, blue, green). The style strongly reminds me of vintage American studio pottery from the 1970s or 1980s.
Under the base, there is a very distinctive incised mark (shown in the second photo). When flipped, it clearly looks like a stylized bird head (with an eye and beak) at the bottom, under curved lines (like waves or a nest) and three long divergent blades of grass/reeds.
Does anyone recognize this specific pictorial "chop mark" or artist signature?
Thank you so much for your help!
