I think this mark is Paul Walshe, no, Paul Wotherspoon ...

I'm sure this mark is Paul Walshe, as he is from the Nelson Marlborough area, but also looks like Pat Watt, although not likely that I would have pottery from Auckland

and this is the lovely bowl, looks like a sunset to me  

I have a Paul Walshe jug that has a sticker on it 'Paul Walshe Pottery Tauranga'.
Thought I had posted it too, but can't find it anywhere ......
The P is joined to the W on the angle, just like in the Marks Book where as this one is straight up and down.
I know Pat Watt and she made mostly handwork, so I would discount it as her mark.
Paul Wotherspoon is another option and there is one other potter that I can't think of atm ...
Just not sure yet sunshine .....

Thought I would update this, as I have since sold the bowl, and the buyer is certain it is Paul Wotherspoon.
