Help with Drip Glaze Pottery Rabbit Shaped Mark

[ppri9146]

I have a rooster and chicken Drip Glaze pottery cream and sugar set.  The mark stamped on the bottom is faded but looks like a rabbit.  Inside I can read a few words :  ORIGINAL, BARBARA, AUTHENTIC CREATION.  I can't read Barbara's last name.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it is an paint palette, not rabbit

Sometimes if you wet the image with water, it helps to define the lettering.

Do the very top words (near the bunny? eye) say Made in..............

The first initial of the last name looks like it could be an A or a C or.............?

I browsed through all of the A entries in Lehner's and the only Barbara I could find was Barbara Arwood,

but she simply signed her work BJA.

Thanks. I thought that it was a paint palette, too, but am not sure. The other palettes I researched has paint brushes with them.

Thanks. I tried wetting it but it is very porous and I couldn't get any better clarity. I thought the lines next to the eye were just lines. If I look at them under a magnifying glass, it is hard to tell if it is letters or just lines. Under the lines I can make out the word original. I actually thought the first letter of the last name was a B or P.

Struck out in B's and P's too. Will come back to it later, sometimes when you leave it for a while, a fresh look solves everything.
