<p>[QUOTE=&quot;janetpjohn, post: 3892119, member: 165&quot;]The blank is the shape, used for many patterns.&nbsp; Sometimes there are separate marks, one for the maker of the blank, and one for the decorator, which can be the same company, or not.&nbsp; A decorating company can purchase blanks from anyone who sells blanks and sometimes cover up the mark with their own. Then, the maker of the blank is not important--it&#039;s all about the decorator.&nbsp; In this case, there are no marks on the shell dishes, but the blank is a distinctive Spode blank.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they sold their blanks to decorators.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
