Complete outliers. The others went for 500, 450, 350 and 600 you failed to mention them - do you have other prices?

Checking on it, the date of the Antiques Roadshow episode was 2015. So you are right, no evidence before then to base their valuation on anything like that. Curious, hpw they made that decision. The valuations on the the programme itself have obviously had a lot of research behind them before they appear on screen.
Equally Naomi is right. They have a whole multitude of 'valuations'. The mythical one based on the high end Bond St shop - which probably no longer exists on a site like that- is virtually anything they like to say!

Yes they made some outliers like that. Not many about, must not have sold well.

Maybe because the fins are easily chipped.
I thought it was a Clive Brooker piece when I first spotted it.

Two charming cats from bang on 1975 and so nice to know they came together. I have other big ones but the little one is unusual, not terribly valuable but unusual. So happy to have them.

Once I have the house done I will turn my time over to sorting the website and my collection

Briglin Pottery [1948 - 1990]

Briglin Pottery was founded in post war London in 1948 at 66 Baker street by 22yo Brigitte Appleby, Eileen Lewenstein and Donald Mills was a thrower from 1948 to 1952. After a fire in 1952 the pottery re-located to nearby 22 Crawford Street. There was a need for domestic wares in post-war London and their pottery sold well. Eileen left in 1959 and it was Brigitte who ran Briglin Pottery for more than forty years until it finally closed in 1990.

Briglin is mostly known for it's brown earthenware wax resist domestic wares of the 1970s. At this time it was the largest maker of pottery in the West End and produced over three thousand pieces a week. Brigitte was know to Lucie Rie, who's workshop was only a kilometre to the south of Crawford St. You will see the influence of Lucie's reflected in early Briglin Pieces.
