Purbeck

No idea but logically they have only uploaded one incorrect image to their Purbeck listing so you would expect their other details to be correct. You would need to contact them to find out for sure.

I think you mean correct image. It is more than likely that it is a genuine mistake but you never can tell these days, especially with some items I've seen listed on ebay incorrectly. Well, thanx all the same for letting us aware.

Correction: 'making us aware'

On the seller's Purbeck listing the front of the dish is the correct image but the back of the dish is the incorrect image. On their Poole listing, both images of the front and back are correct.

But, as you say, you can never be sure on there.

I've notified the seller of his mistake.

Referring to Ebay Item no. 261192479923, their size is 5 3/4", which I was assuming meant the Poole bowl, as the Purbeck bowl appears smaller on their images.

This would indicate to me that my bowl is smaller than yours. In inches my bowl measures approx. 5". So my question is, did Purbeck make these bowls in different sizes?

Thanx for your info. 'oh great one'

designed by Robert Jefferson in the 1960's

Aparrently this set was bought in the late 80's early 90's from the Purbeck Pottery shop on the Quay in Poole .
Verry unusual to say the least .

A lovely footed bowl from Purbeck hand painted by Sheila Drew, dating from the mid 70's , i think quite pretty in its simplicity.

I've only seen pictures but, yup, RJ it was.

There is a picture of the Poole monogram (small rj) in the Poole book and a picture of the Purbeck monogram (capital RJ) in the "Quiet Virtuoso" book by Rena Jefferson p34. I guess I can't scan those here because of copyright.

I linked to John Smart's virtual museum,he posted a pic there

Quite an unusual Vase with quite a high Lustre for Purbeck.

A good idea if your selling is buy these smaller types then group them together , I made a very nice profit on this set , individually they don't sell for much , so buy the odd one here and there and Presto , Nice group settings.

Nice early selecection there , but even down in Purbeck land the early bits are just not available and i get around quite a bit.perhaps my collection of later pieces will be good for my grandchildren or perhaps there children as not really sought after at present thats for sure.
