Help to identify my beautiful find

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone … been a while since I have posted here … but I always have a look in to see what the collectors have been up to … Always have a look at “the what I’ve found” thread … and it is nice to see it is still being run by 2chappies (a lovely lady)

.

I would like to be able to identify this piece

.

I am a bookseller, but when I saw this at the local car boot sale at Kincumber … I just had to have it …

.

in my eye it is truly a beautiful piece

.

I have shown it to several people who know their pottery (and they all want it … lol)

.

The general opinion is:

.

Approx 1950s

.

Excellent quality and condition

.

Beautifully handpainted

.

Bit unusual being a larger piece (opinion is, normally these sort of things are smaller)

.

Being a jug as opposed to a vase

.

The handle’s pointed shape (which is also decorated) is also a little unusual

.

If I were to attribute it to a maker … I would say Studio Anna … but after much much much goooogling … all their pieces seem marked/stamped … and generally smaller

.

Any help would be much appreciated

i thought Diana when i saw it, someone that knows will pop in and correct me most likely.

I, too, would suggest Diana

I was too chicken to suggest Diana, but I'm happy to jump on with the others. I'll stick my neck out and say Norm Sherrat.

oops,

Sherratt, of course. With a double T

Yes Diana !!  Norm is most likely the man 😉

Hi Johnno, thanks for the lovely compliment. :-x

I'm still hanging around and learning as much as I can.  My first thought was Norm Sherrat (Diana) so I see I have learned something.  It's a gorgeous piece!  Miss Linda loves jugs. 😉
