Maybe it's upside down - it's very similar to this piece on the main thread for Martyn's work...

It's 10 inches by 10 inches (25.4 cm). It went out into the garden because it was "damaged". When cleaning it for this photo session I tried to find the damage but couldn't. This morning when I measured it, I found a minute nick on one edge on the back...... but I'm like that.

Just seen this and was going to say it's an upsidedown cat

Naomi was right about the mark reading Bembridge, unlike a lot of the IoW map marks you see, this map will have "IOW" inside, rather than "JO".

I think it was Denby that spotted it was Bembridge and cycladelic that it was upside down.......................... but "a cat". It looks more like a demented hornet to me.

SP do you chuck all damaged ceramics into your garden?

some into the dustbin.

Found this in a Clay Cross charity shop today for £2.00! Martyn Gilchrist I presume?
