M L Studio Potter's Mark

(M L Studio Potter's Mark)

I'm very keen to identify this unusual mark. It looks like an 'M' with an 'L' laid over it on the left hand side and then a line around the outside of it. It is heavy pot with some crazing but otherwise perfect condition.

Grateful of any clues.

Hi Kim

I need help on this one because studio Pottery is not my bag. Also I didn't get whether you were US or UK based (such is the 'global' nature of the internet.

If you are from the US there are two notable studio potters that I could find with M L in their names.

They were:-

M.L. Owens of North State Pottery in Sanford

and

M.L. "Sonny" Moss of the Mud Creek Pottery, Calvert, Texas

I couldn't find any pictures of their marks though.

Hope this helps your research.
