Hello, I'm an FB newbie, and have spent the last several days researching Flow Blue, Transferware, English pottery & porcelain, etc. in preparation for listing my mom's collection of blue & white pottery/china for auction on eBay. I posted this notice on their Pottery & Glass Discussion Board and someone there suggested I put the question to you folks! I noticed that one of her plates, made by Cauldon England, has one Registry mark incised in the body of the plate (183243, the correct one for the design, according to a compote I found on eWolfs.com) and a different one (199552) stamped in blue underglaze. I googled that one, and the pics show a completely different design. Is this unusual? Does it impact the plate's value? It's in otherwise excellent condition, with the exception of a tiny 2mm chip on the rim... Thanks for your help & opinions!

You may find that the impressed reg. number is for the design of the plate shape and the underglazed blue reg. number for the pattern - plates were often made and left to be decorated at a later stage
