Was there an artist with intitials JM at Newcomb College as well? I have a Newcomb Collage vase with RB37 and with what looks like JM (J and M connected) intials. There is also 19 pressed on the bottom of the vase.

f you see a JM mark on the pottery, the Potter was Joseph Meyer. Joseph Meyer “could throw a fine piece of work faster than any man living” said Paul Cox, also a potter at Newcomb. Meyer created classical shapes which formed a canvas for Newcomb’s very talented decorators.
