According to Godden's Encyclopedia of British marks, that bow and quiver Ridgways trade mark was registered in 1880; however, "the early versions do not have the 'Stoke on Trent.'" Having seen hundreds of examples of willow pattern with marks with that trade mark combined with other marks dated 1912+, the willow pieces had impressed dates in the 1920s. I think Ridgways Persia pattern is an early 20th century pattern.
