Perplexing auction .....

This looks just like the Titian SB.204 shape, but the glazing - especially on the base and the initials in a triangle tell me that it's not made by Titian ....
Any thoughts to help enlighten me .... ?

Most perplexing I agree, don't know that mark either.

Could it be someone's experiment with glazes on an old white Titian vase...?
I have brightly painted CL cups & saucers that must be 'homers' why not vases too..

Kat & Co,
Think I'd have to agree. The mark is not Titian or Aquila who made variations on the SB shape.
Looks good though.

I'm wondering if this shape was used for the Hobby Ceramics courses that one of Cameron Brown's sons took. I seem to remember reading that the son used some of the moulds from Titian and must try to find that info .....

Chris brown was the son who started the Hobby Ceramics. There is a lidded vase that aquilla did that has the same shape for about 2/3 from the base.
I'll try and find out a bit more about the Hobby Ceramics.
