Re: Michael (Mike) and Carol Francis, Pembrokeshire
Might it be a modern Chinese export piece?

Re: Michael (Mike) and Carol Francis, Pembrokeshire
Found a similar one, listed as Studio Pottery Ceramic Flower Brick by Francis Ceramics. Checked out Francis Ceramics and it's a husband and wife team (Mike & Carol Francis) who make reproduction delft, etc, tiles for high end interior design. They used to make stoneware.
I don't think its a Japanese/Chinese import because the glaze is crazed and their flower bricks are of a much better quality.

Very strange mark. It almost looks like a shopping cart with a couple of people inside. Probably using all the letters of their name, if you can decipher it. Not a mark I’ve come across before

It reminds me of Ingleton Pottery ... the one handed potter up in Lancashire.

I think you have got it already Ben. A strongly Dart, Janice Tchalenko inluenced piece. Without a mark that is about all you can say. Still its a good enough moniker to catch the right Ebay searches!

Thank you, well done. It certainly is reminiscent of Dartington. I think I prefer their Delft type pieces.

Re: Michael (Mike) and Carol Francis, Pembrokeshire
My goodness. How do you store all these unidentified marks in your brain, and then manage to find the thread almost 2 years later!? I saw a ID request a few weeks ago with a plate that matches a cheese dome I have and I can't even find that now
Thank you for this
