<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 4477818, member: 7360&quot;]Impressed marks can be a real headache, in my opinion, you feel you should be able to read them but the glaze makes it impossible.&nbsp; I am guessing this is English,&nbsp; imitating Japanese designs, and rather nicely done, probably hand painted.&nbsp; The bluish tinge to the edge of the underneath rim means it could be pearlware and fairly early.&nbsp; If small, it could be a saucer dish for a tea bowl.&nbsp; Just my guess.&nbsp; I think it isn&#039;t an anchor but possibly a wreath type mark, with the maker&#039;s information around the inside, illegible (but you might find increasing the contrast in the photo helpful), and some kind of design inside the oval.&nbsp; If you have a lot of time to spare you could browse through a copy of a book like Godden&#039;s Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks to find something similar, and then look up the items made by likely potteries.&nbsp; I might have a look myself if insomnia sets in again!&nbsp; Good luck, I think it&#039;s just a little thing - is it a saucer or a plate? - but in nice condition, and someone put a lot of work into it.&nbsp; Many early pearlware items are very difficult to identify, but this has a mark, so eventually it will be found![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
