This small dish is  unmarked and  6" in diameter. Decoration looks , at first glance, like the Olympic rings, but obviously they aren't as one has slipped!  Highly glazed.
I'm hoping someone may be able to identify it by the decoration. Could it be an amateur piece?

It reminds me of Quentin Bell's stuff that he did at Fulham Pottery for the Friends of Charleston.

Alternatively a John Gibson piece? Probably wrong clay, though.

Penny Simpson is another possibility.

Have just seen the recent post re Helen Dunwoodie (Dunwoody) in Studio Pottery . Looking through all the posts there I think this  dish bears some similarities to her work??   Glaze  colours etc . Although it has no mark .

What do people think?Shrugs

I think it's the wrong clay. Helen's pieces are a darker brown terracotta, and I don't think she does the type of slip decoration that's on your one.
