<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9744435, member: 79460"]I bought this over the weekend. It was advertised as 'Ashworths'. I wasn't sure if the description was correct. I was thinking of maybe Masons? After a bit of time looking at it at home I'm starting to think that maybe it's a Chinese copy? For one it is very clean and new looking. Including the foot rim. Two, the mark on the back is quite large (4.5cm). I once read somewhere that you should treat large backstamps with suspicion. Finally, it rings pure and true..if it was ironstone, wouldn't it make more of a clunk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts please?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]477410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477414[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
