Re: leaf dish Posted by Connie Rogers on January 23, 2009, 9:41 pm, in reply to "leaf dish" 71.72.211.105 Hi, The mark is Godden #3205 used by Thomas Rathbone & Co., Newfield Pottery, Tunstall c. 1912+. That is why you don't find the mark in the database. Our cut-off date is 1900.  Post a Response

Re: leaf dish Posted by lenagless on January 23, 2009, 10:44 pm, in reply to "Re: leaf dish" 74.226.103.217 How is one to determine date as with this peace there is no country identified? Nearly all pieces after 1892 carry a country of origin I was given to understand. Is there any possibility it was produced earlier?  Post a Response

Re: leaf dish Posted by jessica on January 24, 2009, 4:30 am, in reply to "Re: leaf dish" 92.2.199.213 as I understand it, the country of origin was only a requirement on goods intended for export to the US under the Mckinley Tariff of 1891, so if your dish was not made for export it would not have necessarily needed to be marked with the country of origin. As a general guide, wares were marked 'England' from 1891 and 'made in England' from about 1921 although some manufacturers introduced such marks at an earlier date. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong!  Post a Response

Re: leaf dish Posted by Connie Rogers on January 24, 2009, 7:49 pm, in reply to "Re: leaf dish" 71.72.211.105 Geoffrey Godden shows three marks used by T. Rathbone & Co. on p. 521 in ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF BRITISH POTTERY AND PORCELAIN MARKS, two of which do not have the word England. The company was only in business c. 1898-1923, so we would assume all of their products made for export would include the country of origin. The first mark with a crown and garter has the word "Tunstall", the town in Staffordshire where it was located. The swan mark seen here is dated c. 1912+, and another mark with the words T. R. & Co. and ENGLAND surrounding a swan is dated c. 1919-23.  Post a Response
