This small dish has a predominately red glaze, with streaks of black and brown and a gloss white underglaze. I've not seen this glaze before but I believe that the script bmp mark on the base was the one done by Dennis Tupy and that would date it to sometime in the 50's.

What a rare color, never seen this freeform dish in red. It comes in 2 sizes, I believe Kim pictured the large size under blob dish. Alan, is yours the small 4-1/2 inches by 3 and a bit inches. #18 or #19 in the 50's

My large one is in what I call tricolor, the little one is an early blue possibly aurora borealis and it's unmarked.

It's the smaller one Grace. I'll add the dimensions to the post. If you find out the catalogue number please let me know and I'll add that as well.
I was very pleased to get hold of it as I thought there was going to be a lot more interest in it.
It arrived just in time for me to get some pictures sent in for the BMPCC red project.

My large "blob" dish is here: Click here <---

I have a small one now too, but just in the regular green color. Mine is also unmarked and the hole is very rough, not like Alan's dish, which has a very smooth one. I can't tell from the picture; does yours even have a hole, Grace (the small one)? It's also very unusual with the white underneath.

Grace, I've seen the glaze which you call tricolor also referred to as "Turquoise and Plum".

I don't know which catalogue Grace is looking at but in the ones I have these show as 18a and 18b. The larger one is the "A".

Very nice find Alan :ohmy

It is an interesting dish, mine has probably a smaller hole than Allan's (1/2") and no white glaze on the bottom, it's just unshiny from the grinding off of the stilt pieces. Must apology for the picture as the camera batteries died before I got a clear shot.

Catalogue does list them as 18a and b as Diana says, but, if this is the free form dish, it's listed on another list as #19. I'd go with the catalogue #18 thou.
