Hiya Dexter,I thought that too and searched hard for some kind of signature or mark but there's nothing there.It's the next item to be sold..with or without a signature.I just don't want to misrepresent it.Anyway,my beloved AVeM bowl has just gone for a few pence under £70 so I'm feeling pretty cheerful about the cash.Hopefully,I'll make a few quid from this one too.All the best Dexter and many thanks again for your help,Elaine.
