help with a pottery hanko

I bought this pottery years ago and am trying to find the potter. I am hoping someone can tell me what this hanko means.

I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.

Re: help with a pottery hanko

The first kanji appears to be: 望. In Chinese, it means: full moon / watch / gaze at / hope / expect. I can't make out the second character, though. If someone can give you the commonly used kanji for pottery (陶器 in Chinese), perhaps a search will yield some fruit.

Thanks. I saw this potter at a craft fair and would love to get more of his work. I need to look in the area and see if there is a full moon potter or something along those lines. I have to admit pottery is another passion of mine. I will take another picture showing the kanji better.
