Is this Mirek Smisek mark. Yes it is Mirek's mark.
Found this mug in Waikanae, Kapiti Coast. It looks somewhat like Mirek Smisek’s mark.

Yes Mirek, stamp is correct and the wire marks on the base & the decoration are a bit of a giveaway. Looks like it may be a second though not quite perfect.

Reply to “ Chef” , re Is this Mirek Smisek
Hi Chef. Thank you for your spot on reply. Ev kindly identified Mirek’s mark on a vase I submitted a month or so back so when I picked up this mug I was reasonably sure it was Mirek’s. The decoration and wire marks were new to me and I appreciate your clear comment as well as picking up on it probably being a second. I agree but I’m pleased nevertheless to have a piece of his work.
I met Mirek a number of times over the years when I was doing wine tasting work in local supermarkets but wasn’t familiar with his work although I knew he was famous for his Crown Lynn and other work.
By chance do you have any ideas of the mark on the other mug I submitted a few weeks back?
Cheers, Kitsch

No idea on the mug, it would have been identified by now either by Ev or one of the other members.
Interestingly you posted a mark on 31 Jan that is the same on a large platter I have. I did post it in the NZ studio pottery FB group but no luck as to who made it.
