HI Keith, this looks more modern to me. I'd be thinking Polish or Italian..

I don't think so,it's heavy for it's size well made and the wear is is random and only at points of contact,there is also wear around the rim and in the bowl as though it has been used on a regular basis for many years.I've others in different colours good quality also with lots of wear,been trying to find makers for these also,beginning to think I'll never find where they're from,thanks for the reply,Keith.

Hi Keith,
i thought it looked familiar, and maybe ive seen similar in a book, but as you say youve posted it
before, maybe thats where i remember it from ;)
Black foot is a bit Art Deco, maybe dates back to 30s?
I will have a look in my growing library.

Ta,the foot is actually a deep 'Bristol' blue,always thought they may be Stourbridge(don't ask why)I'll post pic's of the others later,Keith.
