Question

pottery signature help
Hello I am a collector looking to find out who made this piece. It is quite tall. I wish i could send more then one pic. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Answer
Dear Chris,
Can you send a photo of the piece? The signature or mark is unreadable by the photo. Where did you get it? Does the original owner have any information? Did you buy it in your region? Is it old or new? If it's a recent piece from a living artist you may be able to locate the artist through a local arts organization, i.e., art center, potters guild. Often local artists know other artists in their field and will recognize a style or signature.
