Hi Guys picked up this plate but cant find anything about the mark.
the cherub holds a banner marked NIGHTINGALE
it has a diamond mark and i can make out Iv ,V, D(on left)3 or 8 (on right), 3 on bottom. can not make out what it says around the edge.

anyone know who makes it ?

hi,

Your vegetable dish is a tureen.

let us follow the information we have.

ON LOOKING AT THE PHOTO

the item is definitely ENGLISH AND MADE IN THE MID TO LATER PART OF THE 19th century

Called the VICTORIAN PERIOD 1840 to 1900

your item is c1850/80

There is no trading company under the name Nightingale.

It is the name of a pattern

THE IMPRESSED DIAMOND MARK IS THE ROAD TO GO DOWN.

After deciphering the letters in the code, (light in photo not so good) 3rd or the 8th day September 1850. or posibly 1876

If you bring in the item to the shop, probably able to tell you the day it was made.

patents where taken out in september 1850 by

the following companies

Thomas Till
J & M P bell and co
J Ridgeway
w t Copeland
Mellor Venables & Co.
Minton & Co.

Ridgway is by far the best bet

andTill and Minton look also a good bets,

nice item.

a complete set would have a high ticket price in the USA

but an odd dish in the UK under £30

Thanks John,

i did look at the archives but seriously lost after that.
believe me if i was closer id bring everything to your shop.

many thanks
Adrian
