Hi All,
This large 37cm diameter 6cm high dish is unmarked, my first thoughts when I found it was the late Eric James Mellon but all his pieces that I can find online are signed, it's still a nice figurative dish by an unknown potter. Eric James Mellon Style Dish Unsigned 00110

I suspect that it is just someone having a go at producing something in a similar style to Mellon. Not only is the stoneware body wrong for him but the glazes used are also not like anything he ever used.

No definitely not Eric Mellon. He used ash glazes a completely different stoneware body. and just not his style
