<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 2633550, member: 308&quot;]The Z may just be an artist cypher.&nbsp; As the decorators were paid by the piece there was a marking system used so the manufacturer could tell who decorated how many pieces.&nbsp; Unusual to find it on the side and under the glaze though. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or the Z may be the mark of a studio.&nbsp; The box may have been sold as white ware to a studio who then decorated it and added their studio mark. That may explain why the bottom is not marked by the maker.&nbsp; Manufacturers did not want their name associated with products decorated outside their own factories. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either way it&#039;s doubtful very much can be learned about it. Wish I could give you better information.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
