He's rolled back on the perfection of the table wares he had to churn out by the ton in his earlier years, when he was making the older style slipware.

A good Guinness tankard, not sure if it’s rare but for 100p not to bad!

Large slip decorated charger, earthenware.
The mark is near identical to the early stamp used by John Pollex, other than the shape which is more rounded, hence my question mark in the title.
Any help with confirmation/ID welcomed, thank you.

Yes

Thanks Naomi, I really appreciate that

I'm a little surprised though, the shape (of the stamp) is different from what's in the book. Im guessing it's another one they've missed.

Yes, they've got the rectangular shaped example of this mark but not the square or circle, and the circle is the more common one.
I'm told it represents ripples of water

That book really is lacking, in so many respects.
I haven't given up hope that you have a change of heart and write the definitive "go to" book on studio marks. It would be the best one out there Naomi.

Many thanks again
