<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 277542, member: 136&quot;]LL, these are just some random thoughts about your pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine that there simply are many patterns that Replacements can&#039;t identify because they&#039;ve never had them in stock. I haven&#039;t scrolled thru all their Minton listings looking for this one, but I did notice quite a few pattern names with notations of &quot;no image found&quot;. Yours could possibly be one of those patterns, or it could be an unnamed pattern, or it could even be unknown. (The pattern also may be <i>number AS5143</i>, which may be what&#039;s written on the back. There <i>are</i> other Minton numbers in this general numerical sequence.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The mark does seem pretty real, however. Here&#039;s yours and the one from the well-known site, The Potteries:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]88382[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]88383[/ATTACH]</p><p>Their notation says:</p><p><i>Basic printed mark</i></p><p><i>c.1912-50</i></p><p><i>Often with &#039;Made in England&#039; added</i></p><p><br /></p><p>from: <a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/m/minton.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/m/minton.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/m/minton.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Yours, of course, doesn&#039;t have the words &quot;Made in&quot;, but they also note that just the word &quot;England&quot; was added to their older mark in 1893. Whether they used the one word without the others after 1912, I honestly don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I see something impressed into the back of your piece, but I can&#039;t quite read it. Can you tell what it says? (Does any of it match any of the marks at the bottom of the page I&#039;ve linked to above?) That could further help date the pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
