<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Elen Beattie, post: 3871769, member: 18081&quot;]Ha it is! I actually emailed them last night and got this response today:</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes this is a piece by Meigh &amp; Forester and there is absolutely no reason to think that it is not genuine.</p><p>I have added your photos to the web page….</p><p><br /></p><p>The registration diamond gives details of the date of registration of the pattern….</p><p><a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/reg.htm#1868" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/reg.htm#1868" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/reg.htm#1868</a> </p><p>Meigh &amp; Forester were only in operation for around 3 years and they only registered three patterns. Two of them were on the same date (<a href="https://www.antiquers.com/calendar:T2:2nd October 1883" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/calendar:T2:2nd October 1883">2nd October 1883</a>) - although difficult to read I think that the design of your piece was the one that was registered on the same day as the ‘Congo’ pattern - I have put the two marks side by side on the page so you can compare them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
