Re: Blue Willow Egg Holder
It is diffcult to tell from photographs, but that eggcup looks like a very late 19th or 20th century piece. I would like to suggest a maker: Keeling & Co of Dale Hall Works, Burslem active 1886 to 1936. Some of their early output even into the 20th century did not have a maker's backstamp, but did have the printed daisy mark. The daisy on its own is found on patterns unique to Keeling and is also found on pieces clearly marked Keeling. They made Two Temples and from the images available the details on this cup look similar to Keeling's version. Bit of a longshot! Regards Andrew
