Is any one able to help with who made these vases?
The smaller vase is also marked Northland NZ.

These are adorable little landscape raku pots sid.
I've never seen that anchor mark before and the A H doesn't match any mark in the potters marks book, but I've put the mark into the Mystery Marks Gallery and hopefully one day we will find the maker.

AH is for Adriana Hendel, Onerahi Whangarei.. now a Jewellery Maker of beautiful Silver/ Glass with her husband Chris.
I think these lovely pots Adriana made around the 1990's are highly collectable..you are so lucky to have 2..! Cool

Thank you so much Kat for sharing that info and Adriana isn't in the Potters Marks book, which makes this mark a bonus. Cheers sid and Kat Very Happy

Thanks for your help Kat. Would never have found the potter without your help. I have a third piece stashed away somewhere. Adriana definitely captures the Northland
coast beautifully. So also always buy if I come across them.
