    There is an artist Ken Stacy who does similar style but he signs differently.
    Any suggestions on origin/maker?
    Thanks

    I guess it is indeed Chinese and Cizhou style, fairly new...

    IMG_1331.JPG It's just that in general the modern Chinese pieces are either not marked or have "made in china" paper/foil labels,auspicious marks or other more common markings. I can't tell at all what is this mark. Could it be Thai or Korean?

    Looks to me like the original maker's name was obscured on the bottom.

    Would think Lombok but could be wrong since most is not marked.

    The style of the decoration is clearly inspired by Chinese pieces like this one: https://metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/42474 . Korea has the same technique, but the decoration looks different. I am not sure if that is a mark at all on the bottom.

    IMG_1358.JPG I don't know but it does not look like a random priduction flaw to me.

    I don't know who made your sgraffito vase and I've let the similarity in color to Zabal pottery from Chile cloud my thoughts.

    Anyway, I did a google map search on "Chizhou" and then flipped the map to the same orientation as your mark. Some food for thought.

    GOOD JOB SIS! I think it is from Chile too, a google search with "Chile" and "pottery" brought up similar styles.

    IMG_1372.JPG IMG_1373.JPG Interesting, I thought that it could also be island of Taiwan but Cizhou would make more sense.

    I don't see any similarities with the traditional motives from Chile. The decoration is very close to the Cizhou style.

    Yes Kardinalisimo you are right. I looked closely at the images and whereas they are similarly cut and painted same blue, they are more stylized to their country.

    Yeah, I didn't so much think it was from Chile but I have a few Zabal animals and my mind just wanted me to go there. It didn't make any sense, style wise.
