I found this little stoneware bowl last weekend at the Doncaster Racecourse Antiques Fair. I'ts the first bit of Purbeck Pottery that I've collected and I'm not sure if its will be the last, or if it's the start of a whole new collecting line. I don't know very much about Purbeck Pottery but I know it was set up in 1966 by a group of Poole Pottery Employees and that Robert Jefferson joined them after he left Poole in 1967. I don't as yet know when my dish was made but I will enjoy finding out.
From the photo I say yes it is Purbeck,any early rimmed tray by Eddie Goodall.If it has a monogram it is rather rare.check it out in Purbeck Pottery A History & Collector's Guide page 56
