Need help please in identifying this vase. It is black and red drip glaze and is 9" tall. Looks like new. The imprinted stamp looks like Whulu. Strange name but I have tried all the combinations I can think of and have found nothing. Thanks for help!!
Someone helped me. These are by Wheeler a potter in Oregon I believe.
Dan Wheeler has been doing craft fairs and shows all over the country for over 30 years, especially on the west coast, so it's not unusual for his work to show up anywhere.
He lives near McMinnville, and examples of his work can be found on line.
He usually doesn't glaze the bottoms, which may explain why this signature in this case was a little difficult to decipher. Unlike many potters, his signature is usually precisely incised and easy to read.
