<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 465462, member: 96"]Gaston's "American Belleek" says that your Willets mark is the later of their two marks, mid 1880s to 1909. The marks were in red, brown, black, blue, or green. The red, brown, or black marks may be found on factory decorated pieces, and the brown and black marks on non-factory pieces as well. Gaston's theory is that Willets decorated all of their pieces early on, but later used other factories. Even later, they began using green on their non-factory white ware, following the European custom. The blue mark was used only on their Delft type pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
