Looks exactly the same as one I sold recently, I didn't photo graph the mark though.

Now that's a match you two Very Happy

It looks slip cast to me from here .....?

The Chris Howe mark in the gallery looks to me like the CH Hand Ceramics mark ???

I just checked one of my Putaruru mugs and I think they are one and the same.
Unfortunately the pics for this topic have dropped off.

Ev, I note your observation that the pig looked slipcast.

This is the mark from NZ Potters website http://www.nzpotters.com/PottersMarks/PottersMark_Image.cfm?potterID=62

Thanks Anne.

It certainly looks the same. I'll post a Putararu mug with mark here for comparison ...
... when the sun comes up.

Is there any chance you still have the original picture for this topic?

Off to netball very soon, will look into it when we get back this afternoon.

I'd always thought these were Hand Ceramics.

Later ...
I think this was the original picture on this topic: Mr google told me so.

I think Jeremy is 100% correct with this mark being Hand Ceramics. Is this a Chris Howe salt pig? It was made by Putaruru Ceramics Img_7711

Does this mean the mark in the gallery for Chris Howe is incorrect given the glaze it is on. This pig is definitely slip cast as well.

Thanks so much and I've moved the mark into the Putaruru Hand Ceramics Gallery. That is the best thing about an online resource as edits and updates are so easy to do
