A porcelain charger by Margaret Frith. This dates to around 2000. The mark is a bit indistinct because of the glaze.

Ask them. They may well make a replacement

A circa 45 minute video made to to coincide with their 50th anniversary show at Ruthin gallery last year. Its really worth watching. Lovely people.
There are also several shorter videos on youtube worth looking at.

Great film. Saw a discussion recently about whether David or Margaret decorated each other's pots but it seems they keep their work fairly separate, and she makes the smaller pieces that act as kiln fillers between David's large pots.

Re: David Frith & Margaret Frith - Brookhouse Pottery
shhhsh forgot.....
Mine is like ... pizza without olives, needs a lid. The only thing that put me off is who the **** uses ginger jars...Now I like to use my stuff do my kitchen if full of Briglin storage jars with cork lids etc, but waht could you store in these ?
Ashes?
My is Jar - overall 165mm wide, 190mm high
Opening - bit at top is max 72 mm tapering to 67mm at the top with an opening of 58mm glazed top 82mm dia.
So strange that there are other missing lids. Must mean that they were used and broken? Or MIL came round and picked up and turned over - lid drops off?

Commemorative dish from 1980. Maybe cycling club?

Re: David Frith & Margaret Frith - Brookhouse Pottery
Egg cups possibly? They look quite early, quite simplistic with none of the superb glazing that David is famed for.The sort of thing you could produce a great number of to sell quickly.

Definitely Frith. Exactly their glazing and clay type, more likely to be David Frith. There are nearly always two marks. Their personal one and Brookhouse pottery. Got several with exactly the same glaze.

I’ve seen the decoration just recently but I can’t make out the mark. Can you post a cropped photo, max px
