Hi, I think this is an example of the ones sold new from charity shops. See:

some modern pieces have a moulded 'pontil' depression, rather than a ground and polished feature.      If you have a lens take a close look  -  if it's the latter you should see the faint remains of grinding lines within the depression - they should generally run in one direction only  -  if moulded then the area will probably appear very shiny and very smooth.          W/Fs produced textured pieces in lilac and aubergine, so some confusion re the colour is understandable, but the base and shape are unrelated.
