<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 49341, member: 44&quot;]Gee, I love this stuff also. Hardly a piece I have is without damage. The cracks and chips add charm and personality. BTW, Petra Wiiliams &amp; Weber, Staffordshire II, page 121, has Meigh&#039;s &quot;Susa.&quot; They agree with the potteries.org dating of this Meigh mark on this pattern as 1851-1861. They say it says &quot;Improved Stone China.&quot; Here is their complete description of the border &amp; pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;This dish is twelve sided and the rim is panelled. On the border there are five cartouches containing a scene of Moorish temples and minarets. The reverses are separated ba a pennant and scroll design. A band of triple honeycomb covers the cavetto.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Three small figures are placed on a carpeted terrace in the foreground. At right there are steps. There are balustrades at both right and left from the terrace. A river divides the scene vertically. At left in the middle distance one sees the tower and rounded roof of a castle. Behind the castle there are tall mountains. The distinguishing features of this scene is the very large banana-liks plants that appear on either side of the foreground screne.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
