[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3763002, member: 18716"]I'll just explain a bit further my thinking here, remember impressed marks aren't always exactly as expected especially with items with limited room on the base. First here's one of the Lambeth marks: [ATTACH=full]315076[/ATTACH] Now look at the profile of the mark I outline in pink: [ATTACH=full]315077[/ATTACH] Now look at the text underlined in blue, to me this says Rd No in italicised font, this is the normal font used for the shortened form of Registered Number, you see this style of font on various pieces including Doulton. Now look at the green underlining this looks like a 5 digit number, perhaps 75460 with the central number poorly formed. I could have it wrong, or maybe the Rd number is 4 digits and it's just spread out oddly. If the item can be found in a pattern book then that will settle it of course.[/QUOTE]
