[QUOTE="Marote, post: 10589411, member: 84568"]All the sites I found with the date info, mention the 1900 mark as having 5 dots left and 4 dots right of the crown. [URL]https://www.potteriesauctions.com/news/a-guide-to-royal-worcester-pottery-and-porcelain-backstamps[/URL] [ATTACH=full]531193[/ATTACH] And [URL]https://worcester-fruit.co.uk/index.php?page=datecode[/URL] also mentions: "In 1891 Royal Worcester introduced a new system of date coding by changing the shape of the crown and adding the word "England" to the backstamp. For the next 12 years a dot was added each year first to the left of the crown and alternating until in 1903 there were 6 dots either side of the crown." So there would always be either an equal amount of dots on both sides, or one more on the left side of the crown. This info confused me, as to me, mine has 4 dots on the left side of the mark and 5 on the right. And now I found an image of a 1902 mark, that has 5 on the left side of the mark and 6 on the right side. So, left and right of the crown is based on the on the point of view of the person wearing the crown, with left of the crown being the right side of the mark and vice versa?[/QUOTE]
