[QUOTE="Touchdry, post: 1078913, member: 12381"][IMG]https://www.thrownandfired.com/images/chaw1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.thrownandfired.com/images/chaw2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.thrownandfired.com/images/chaw3.jpg[/IMG] This may be a bit of a long shot - because I bought this at a bootsale in the Charente in France, so it could be a local potter. I contacted the French Pottery Forum but they did not come up with anything. And the book The French Potters Guide (Guide des céramistes) Poitou-Charentes section drew a blank. So, I'm wondering whether any of you can help in any way. Is this what is called a chawan (I think that means 'teabowl')? What is the amazing glaze? The signature, to me, seems typically French(!) ... but do you know what it says? I think it has a bit of age - maybe 70's or 80's. Height 2.75 inches/6.5cm - diameter 3.75 inches/9.5cm. Over to you ... any ideas will be very much appreciated ... thanks.[/QUOTE]
