Posted by Margaret | September 23, 2014, 2:48 pmWilliam Ricketts signed his work with an incised ‘W M Ricketts’. As he is a little outside my area of interest, I don’t have any of his work. The Australian Pottery group on Facebook has expertise in this area and may be able to help identify your item and there is also this entry on the Early Australian Pottery group on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/groups/early_australian_pottery/discuss/72157637287476774/
