American Chop ID

I bought this gorgeous oribe glazed pot for half off because it had a hairline crack on the left side. It looks similar to Taiko Earth, and could be his level of craftsmanship. Any thoughts?

I had given up on the hunt for awhile, until I had one more place to look. This pot wasn’t from America like I thought… it was from the U.K.

The pot was made by the late Petra Engelke-Tomlinson. She was the wife of Harry Tomlinson (Founder of Greenwood Bonsai and author of The Complete Book of Bonsai). Her two stepsons still run their families nursery and have a YouTube channel. Very cool history to go with this one!
