HELP! CAN'T IDENTIFY SIGNATURE ON WHITE CRACKLE GLAZE TERRACOTTA BUST...

[arah]

I have this lovely terracotta bust of a young girl with a white crackle glaze.  It is signed on the back with either the artist's signature or studio stamp, but I cant read it!  On the top the letters look like 'CO' or 'GO' and under that an 'FF' monogram but definitely far from sure.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe its "Gio" ? My very 1st thought on seeing the picture was Gio Ponti. But thats just a guess.

How funny! I had actually hoped it said 'Gio' as well, but alas I don't think that's the case. What would the 'FF' under it stand for? Thanks a lot for your thoughts though, and I guess the hunt continues!

Search under "raku" pottery,that might help.
