How big?

The crossed 7 suggests European rather than British. Poss Dutch? It's tin glazed red earthenware which I think was widely used.

Rye Pottery did a number of commemorative bits in the 50s, which weren't always signed. It has the same tin glaze, cobalt blue and red earthenware that they used.

You were quite right to have never thought of Rye.

I thought that I might be able to sneak my comment on here at this time on a Friday night, as I thought Naomi must have something better to do........... but she was there waiting all the time. Surrender

The tin glaze is similar but the red earthenware isn't right and the shape and size were not used by Rye Pottery.

That red clay is very Devon-like, isn't it? More English than Continental?
