I don't think its British . Looks like burnished terracotta so may be Mexican/South American or Indonesian.

Naomi is right and it could even have been made in Africa too so it is going to be impossible to give a specific continent let alone place.

Likely to have been made "yesterday" i.e. 21st Century but could be 25 years old.

The surface patination may have been be caused by cooking residues, and the rather crude firing methods used, rather than faked.
