Ceramicist - Pro or Non?

Hello friends, I acquired this beautifull pottery jar with drip brown glaze. It is very light in weight and very well shaped. It has a signature on bottom, as you can reference from images....I am just not very good at deciphering these nor am I familiar with it.
Any help and or direction would be greately appreciated.
Thanks, Dani

 

I'm pretty sure the picture is showing the signature upside down. Timboll,,,, something ending in a d.

 

The way you are holding it I thought it said Paul something but I'm thinking it goes the other way. Something like Tim Ballard/Bullard '81

 

I turned it around and it was no easier to read. It looks like it was made in '81. You could try rubbing some cinnamon into the writing to see it more clearly.

 

There is a Tim Bullard Pottery.

Wow, I just saw that, thank you @Bakersgma looks like Tim Bullard or Bullary?

 

sis, you fixed the photo and it looks better. My vote is Tim Bullard.

 

Thank you so much....I hear the song " A little help from my friends..." in my head....Have been trying to decipher for several days...and glad I am here.

 

Tim Bullard's FB page is reaaly nice. He makes some very interesting pottery and he seems to be about the right age for him to have made your jar in 1981.

 

That pot looks like an ice cream sundae!!!!!!!!!! YUMMMMM!! Glad it got identified!

 

I believe it is by Tamisu Hurd.

 

Who might that be, Mistyjo? No such name shows up on a Google search. Not even close.

 

Pretty sure you're RIGHT ON, @say_it_slowly, there are a couple of "artifacts" in between the 'i' and 'm' in "Tim" distorting it a bit....here it is enlarged and inverted: TIM BULLARD.....81

...and it's gone
