Studio Pottery Shoe. Do you recognize this style?

Hello. I have this ceramic shoe sculpture (please see the images). Can anyone help me identify the style of this piece. I think it would best be described as "majolica", but I am not sure. Also does the writing on the front of the piece mean anything to you? Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

 

looks like a 80's student work...



I still have mine in the closet......my backhand slice drop shot was evil !!!




it's the old Head tennis logo...

 

Do you think there is an actual shoe under the clay?

 

no, but I see why u might think so...

 

Thank you so much for your reply. It is incredibly well spotted; it is indeed the old Head logo. Many thanks.

 

That's because it is a Tennis shoe!
