    Hello,
    Does anyone recognize this mark? I found one just like it on another forum but it, too, was illegible. Is this considered flow blue?

    Thanks! IMG_20200822_001915332.jpg IMG_20200822_001715734.jpg IMG_20200822_001856367.jpg

    I think that this is a modern piece and the mark is deliberately blurred. It's not old flow blue - sorry

    Agree with John Brassey.
    China was and is imitating the English marks.

    Here is a link to a little info on your mark. I believe yours says Victoria Ware Ironstone.

    http://www.thepotteries.org/fake/index.htm

    Victoria Ironstone:- 'Flow Blue' style ware - These are modern Chinese imports. They are illustrated in the Staffordshire Figure Company Ltd's catalogues of c.1996 and occur on at least 20 different shapes from chamber pots to vases. A variety of patterns were used from Willow-type Chinese designs to European style landscapes.

    These wares were not (2002) listed on the company's website but one sees them so often in 'antique shops' - both here and in the USA that it is possible that they are still being imported.
