<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 110868, member: 44"]Cx, just a little follow-up I want to get posted before the weather turns really bad. At the moment, 6:30 CST, it is snowing with temp in the 20s. Later this morning and into the afternoon the winds are predicted to really whip up to blizzard conditions. The snow won't be the main problem unless there is a layer of ice under it. The problem is going to be the winds. With any hard winds, one can count on the electricity going out in my little corner of the world. The NE will get much more snow than us with probably blizzard conditions also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhoooo, Godden's <i>Ency. of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks</i> has at least 4 pages dedicated to Derby marks, pp 200 - 204.

[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 110868, member: 44"]Cx, just a little follow-up I want to get posted before the weather turns really bad. At the moment, 6:30 CST, it is snowing with temp in the 20s. Later this morning and into the afternoon the winds are predicted to really whip up to blizzard conditions. The snow won't be the main problem unless there is a layer of ice under it. The problem is going to be the winds. With any hard winds, one can count on the electricity going out in my little corner of the world. The NE will get much more snow than us with probably blizzard conditions also. Anyhoooo, Godden's [I]Ency. of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks[/I] has at least 4 pages dedicated to Derby marks, pp 200 - 204. No doubt there are more with Derby info in other sections of the book. Page 201, 1253, has this mark with the following: "Standard painted mark. c. 1782-1825. Painted in various colours: puce, blue and black, c. 1782-1820; red, c. 1800-25. As this mark was hand painted by different artists, many slight variations occur." There is no doubt in my mind that this plate dates back to the very early 1800s if not earlier especially because of the staple repair. According to the following article this type of repair dates back to at least the early 1800s. "Pottery, porcelain and glass items with this type of repair are often referred to as having a “museum repair”, achieved by carefully drilling tiny holes on either side of a cracked surface and attaching a series of hand forged metal staples or rivets on either side of the cracks. Evidence of this type of primitive repair dates back to at least the first part of the18th century."
