<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 4486565, member: 22292&quot;]Thanks so much for that info! It&#039;s definitely the same design and overall colour match although the colours of my piece appear much more muted than the other replacements.com listing- mine is burnt orange where their image is brick red (for example) - but that I suppose that could be down to batch firing differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still struggling a little to get to grips with the date though - replacements.com gives an age of post 1877, but the potteries.org say that the impressed back stamp of Minton (sans the &#039;s&#039;) was only in use from 1862-1872. So, if that is correct, it would seem that my piece is earlier? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also wondering why my piece has a pattern number of D23 rather than A238 - I suppose it&#039;s possible Minton reissued the pattern later with a new number? </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to ask so many questions but I&#039;ve never used replacements.com as a tool for dating pieces before so I&#039;m not sure how reliable the information is from each source <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
