    One of my game plans when hunting is that ugly is often overlooked. These are definitely in that category. Whether I should have overlooked them is up for debate….
    I picked up the first of these pots and saw the Rooke stamp which very vaguely rang a bell with me so for £3 it’s mine. Then I saw there was a small collection of similar Cornish style brutalist pottery so I scooped it all up.
    The lady in the shop genuinely asked me why on earth I wanted them and they are currently stashed in the car as OH will go nuts if I bring back more junk. The first I’ve identified at Bernard Rooke, the second is Tamar Pottery but the pair of slab pots with a duck and a saint/king(?) back stamps are eluding me.
    Just to show I’ve done my due diligence, you can see what Google Lens thought of my purchase :oops::rolleyes:
    Any ideas please on the slab pots?
    Thankyou

    Nice bit of Rooke that.

    I’m wondering if the slabs are not from the U.K., tbh. Although, the mark is vaguely familiar.
