<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3059429, member: 7360"]Hi, glad you agree that it is not Chinese, there's nothing wrong with Chinese but early English is what I would prefer! The foot shape seems common to several factories, including Worcester and several Liverpool ones, but the bluish glaze should narrow it down when I have some suspects. It is translucent when held against a strong light, so I don't know if that excludes creamware. I'm not at all expert on pastes and glazes, it would make identification much easier if I was! I think that one has to handle many items to get a feel for them, and to be able to compare types. I have been able to buy so few pieces of early porcelain/earthenware etc so far that I haven't got the experience yet, especially telling Chinese from European, my biggest problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I did post it on the Facebook Friendly British Pottery and Porcelain forum (recommended), which is where it was identified as English, but the discussion concluded with no factory yet identified. I am hoping that the large panel of experts on this forum will keep their eyes open to help me finally find the maker. It won't be valuable whatever the factory, far too damaged, but then most of my earlier pieces are, or I wouldn't have been able to buy them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
