I found this small ovoid dish (16cm x 13cm) in a junk shop.  It has no marks but I was wondering if the design is recognisable to anyone or is it possibly a student piece?

Thanks Naomi, I can see that as a possibility. Not sure though and suppose it will remain one of those "after John Harlow" even though I have no plans to sell it!

From experience I learnt NEVER to buy unmarked items. It is just sooooo frustrating, and funnily enough that mag you at the back of your mind far more than more significant items! This type of item usually suffers from the paper label symdrome. Way back then, a lot of potters used a paper label for their items. Which then all fall off in times!

Ah yes I agree but I buy for the love of the item and just have to live with the frustration!  Unmarked found in Somerset junk shop - any ideas please? 1f600
