Not his usual style. Tin glazed, I think, rather than the honey slipware.

Thanks Philpot. Lucky you!!
I want to email him to see if a platter I have is one of his - I fear it may not be though as it's not signed ( I've posted a request in the ID section)

I'm not partial to slip wear but found this, it's not in excellent condition but looked like it had some age...with a mark I could id!
I've searched and I think it's Alan Frewin. Could anyone tell me if it's likely to be Nonsuch Pottery because I've read he only owned it for a short period between 1965-67.

Yes, it's his early mark before moving to Norfolk in 1970.

Yes, it's similar to the example in the BSPM book, used 1965-70 at Nonsuch Pottery and London before he moved to Millhouse Pottery in Norfolk and changed it to a windmill

Alan Frewin said it should be called Alan Frewin Studio Pottery rather than Nonsuch Pottery. He and Peter Riffin had planned to start a pottery on the edge of the Nonsuch Estate in the ‘60s but the plans fell through. The stamp is supposed to represent a stylised AF monogram

He died a couple of years ago, and the estate seems to have been trying to sell his surviving work on Ebay. While they are nice pieces, they are rather overpriced for what his pottery normally has sold for.

I think I'm right in saying he was ex Briglin. Which would normally interest me, but he doesn't do it for me

I am not sure which way up this little impressed mark is supposed to be.. It looks like an L with the two dots mark for Leach but on close inspection I don't know... Its a large dish about 10"diameter glazed inside only. Please help, many thanks
