Help to identify potter of this raku (I think) vase

Hi - just wondered if anyone can help identify the potter of this piece which I bought recently. I am assuming it is an NZ piece but could be wrong. The potters mark looks to me like an angel-like motif, but, again, I could be wrong. It is a very fine and beautifully executed, spherical shape, vase.

Hi there, I haven't seen that mark before, so can't help with the potter and I hope someone can help.
Yes it has been fired in a Raku firing

Hi This mark looks like it belongs to Alan Rhodes. Cheers

Thanks for both responses - it is a lovely piece and I will have a look for more of Alan’s work. Cheers

I don't see this mark as that of Alan Rhodes and I know him and his work very well.
However I will leave photos of his marks that are on the site for you to check out.

Thanks - I also saw that Alan’s potters marks look somewhat different so suspect this is not his piece. But I have contacted him directly to confirm. 

In the meantime if anyone else has any information about this mark, which as I say looks like it is an angel motif, I would welcome it.

Alan has confirmed the pot is not one of his - so the mystery of the maker of this pot and user of the “angel” potters mark, remains to be resolved.
