[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 10432937, member: 16674"]First, I don't know what that period was; and second, the back-marks are all in poor condition due the being printed above the glaze. Goodle Lens doesn't get a sniff of it. The relief pattern is is very dirty in in the crevices. I've only just started; but have tried soaking in very hot water. Scrubbing with a toothbrush and washing-up liquid, wiping with acetone, the same with lighter fluid. I have samples swimming in diluted 15% vinegar, and also in diluted bleach. I think the scrubbing might have made a very little bit of headway. It was bought this morning at a French Brocante. 6-saucers, 3-cups and a lidded sugar bowl. The only letters on the back-mark that I can clearly pick out are "FST*". Where do I start with all of this?
