Featured Help with Doulton Burslem plate artists mark please.

I have had this plate for 20+ years. I got it as part of a box of stuff at a local auction house when I started getting into this craziness. It was near the bottom of the box & had multiple things piled on top. To this day I don't know how there were not any chips or breaks to the edges.

I decided to keep it because it was just pretty & every time I looked at it I would marvel at the fact that it was 100+ years old. It is one of the handful of true antique non-perfume pieces I own.

According to my online search, the stamped mark was used from 1886 to 1902 & the impressed mark was used from 1882 to 1902. The handwritten marks are what is stumping me. I found a couple of sites that list the artists but I am not sure I am reading the initials correctly. I am fairly certain the pattern number is C838.

It is 8 7/8" across.







Thank you for any & all opinions or suggestions!!

 

1880s sounds good to me. Post 1891 should have "England" on it, but who knows if that was the case for local market goods. I can't really make out the initials, but maybe OBB will know. HSJ? WJJ?

 

I think the initials are HBJ?

 

Thank you!!

I think you are correct!! Thak you so much!!
