Re: Peter Alger
Again, the person to ask would be Peter himself....Ive seen this jug and am 99% sure gut feeling its by Peter Alger.....but that 1% makes all the difference....anyone got the contact details for Peter?. Also Howard Williams may know as it is his pot on the front cover of the marks book.

Re: Peter Alger
Comparing this jug with Geoff's Peter Alger jug - I say that it's a definite
Why? Lets compare the two jugs ..... side by side ...
Even though these photos are at slightly different angles I can see that ...
The spout is exactly the same -
The thick rim is the same -
The bountiful belly has been shaped by the same person -
The lines down the jug are in the same place -
The whale tail finish on the handle is the same -
Even the foot has been crafted by the same potter!
These are all potters signature marks and cannot be copied in the exact same way.
Cheers Marcus I will now put this mark in the Potters Marks Gallery
