Look what l have found today. I bet David hasn't got one of this.

Well, wow, sort of! Difficult to place this one, but I reckon it's a circular plate blank that's been slumped like an early handkerchief vase. It could be a trial piece or a frigger made by one of the workers but, all the same, very rare.

(should be in a museum – mine)

Thanks for the comments.
Nice to find a rare piece at last.  It's the same charity shop that l got the two Orlak tumblers sometimes ago.

Yes you are right Ann. I am not going to tell Keith and anyway he can't get there as he got no car.
