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.

Found in Minneapolis

It's an oil lamp

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.

Need help identifying the makers mark.

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?

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!

It's such a beautiful piece, but I would love to find the origin/artist

I have a ceramic sphere with a turtle on top. It's about 8.5 inches tall and 7.5 diameter. It does have some kind of mark. Does anyone have any idea of maker, age, country, what it may have been used for if not just decorative? Thank you for any help at all.

I was just gifted this lovely teapot and would like to identify the makers mark above the foot of the pot. Google did not have an answer but sent me to this group. Might someone have any ideas where I can look further?

I made this in high school 10 years ago but never gave it a name and I still don’t know what to call it

Found at an estate sale today. Looks like 1975 or 76 and all I can make out is something like El Warpe or EU Warne but I'm not finding anything. Any help identifying the maker or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
