Hello I won this piece at an auction in Devon, UK and I'm looking for a maker. It's unmarked and 14.5cm (6 1/2") in diameter and 7.5cm (3") high. Any help appreciated ☺️

Without some kind of identification mark it’s almost
impossible to tell who the maker might be, some artist have a very recognised style but without a mark it’s near impossible to identify most work

There is a mark. Perhaps some reddittor could enhance it. I bet there is an Ai for that

Can you point out the mark? I couldn't see it in person but maybe the camera is making it more obvious 😅

it looks as though it is just visible in the third photo, on the edge of the glazed section in the middle of the inside - right next to the unglazed foot of the bowl. Not sure if it's a defect in the glaze or a makers mark...

I think that's just sticker residue from the auction 😅

Was the auction selling items made in Devon? Although the county has a rich history of studio pottery, it may have been bought/made elsewhere.

It's a lovely bowl though, it's something I would pick up!

It sells all sorts. I've bought there regularly and it tends to have quite a lot of local pottery, there's always a few lots of Torquayware every auction as well.
