    I think that is your mark, with the 4 and 3 and a cross, right there in the last picture.

    I love it, the loose way it is painted, the broad lines of water in front of the fish, everything suggesting movement.

    This is not my area of expertise, but it looks 60s to me.

    I don’t think that was a valid attribution, I deleted it. It said Richard tile works.

    I strongly suspect this is an art or hobby potter who bought an unglazed blank and decorated it - that, or double fired it. I'd stick it on the British Studio Pottery ID Facebook page.

    Looks like a Japanese Koi fish.
    Signed with a "W" on the front?
