<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 4486473, member: 22292&quot;]Hello, just bought my first piece of antique Minton at a brocante sale in France - it&#039;s not in great condition but I&#039;m interested to learn a bit about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found resources to show the date marks but I can&#039;t for the life of me work out where or what the date mark is on my piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has an impressed mark for Minton which I have read was only used between 1862-1872 which narrows it down somewhat, but I cannot see which year within that range the date mark corresponds to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d LOVE to hear from any more experienced Minton lovers out there who might be able to tell me what&#039;s what.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also one other secondary question - I&#039;ve Minton pieces similar to this pattern called &quot;India Tree&quot; but they are gilded. This has not a trace of gilding on it (though there is a mark running around the inner rim). How can I tell if it ever had gilding on it,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help !</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]390403[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]390404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]390405[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
