    It’s a little dirty and I’m yet to replace the vital organs but I picked this up a while ago and have struggled to find any other Worcester with this design.
    Any info would be much appreciated. Unfortunately the most important part of the mark where the dots usually are is worn.
    Thanks

    well that is interesting! I did a search for fish scale and didn't turn up anything.

    yes it’s a great pattern. I have tried fish scale, fan, arcs, embossed and Alsorts.
    It has a 1930s deco look but I think the stamp is later than that and there is also a what appears to be powder coated metal ring in the base. It may just be enamel paint but the condition also points to more recent, maybe 70s/80s when the style became popular again.
    I’m at a loss. Looking forward to putting some vintage brass fittings into it either way.
    Thanks for the reply

    Very nice, and welcome Martin.
    Pine cone?
    Or even pineapple.

    Thank you, both good suggestions but computer still says no. What I find strange is that I’ve not even found anything remotely similar produced by royal Worcester.

    The shape number, 2833, is listed in the book 'Royal Worcester Porcelain' by Henry Sandon as a lamp base introduced in 1927. The designer is listed only by last name, Khouri.

    Wow that’s fantastic. My initial instinct was 1930s but I was thrown off by the metal base insert. Most likely it’s been added later for some unknown reason by somebody pat testing or rewiring. It serves absolutely no purpose.
    Thanks a lot for the information.
