never seen this GTP underglaze marking

The one on the right in the pic is the one I have not seen in 35+ years of collecting. Anyone seen one of these "outline" GTP's before? This is a photo Jeff Hogan gave me a few years ago.

Cool Piece.

I don't know where the GTP came from. Jeff Hogan (Florida) was a big mud collector 10-15 yrs ago, he might be worth asking if he remembers where he got it from. Too bad all insulators don't have a little piece of paper curled up in the pinhole, explaining where and when they were found. This provenance is getting more obscure as old collectors who did the climbing are turning their material over to newer younger collectors with very few accompanying stories.
