Just an update due to new findings, looks like some of these are actually British, by Davidson, see here:

Fascinating, Wayne! The difference on Alfie's Dad's piece seems to be the opaque splodges.

They don't all have splodges; the blue one doesn't

 :huh2: Which blue one, Christine? It was just that none of the Davidson pieces seemed to have the opaque spatter effect that's on the first piece shown here.

Oh, I didn't even spot those opaque patches 1st time I looked, I must have mistaken them for light reflections!  Very odd, haven't seen that before with these!

The white patches are almost invisible in the first picture. I only saw them in the second one, which shows the base.
