Idenitifying a 'quasi' deco bust

Dear Pottery Buffs,

I've just bought a large (50cm high) ceramic bust of a pouting lady,
fashioned after a deco style, but it seems to be relatively modern.
There's a makers stamp inside but it's difficult to make out. The
second name appears to be 'Patterson'. I'd like to find out something
about the maker and where the bust may come form. Does this ring any
bells with anyone out there? Or can you suggest a more appropriate
news-group where I might find the answer?

Thanks.

Is this it? I did a simple google keyword search "patterson" ceramic.
rec.antiques.marketplace would probably be the best place for your
question. Also check out your local library for antique guide books.
