The classic octagonal design has a raised ridge which serves as a border and another ridge inside it that curves inward to a point at each angle. The backstamp is that of the English registry mark with potter name above and possibly the shape below. However, it is indecipherable, so we are using shape references to identify the pattern. We think this is Augusta Shape, which was made in the J. Clementson pottery. The shape was made from 1848 to 1864. We may be wrong about this one; however, it is most definitely an early pattern, 1840's - early 1860's, produced by one of the quality Staffordshire potteries.
Condition is excellent - crazing is evident, but there are no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restorations. |
