<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ChizJ, post: 9424415, member: 80900&quot;]I bought this small Imari bowl (4&quot;/10cms diameter at rim) at a local flea market last week for R50 (next to nothing) (I live on the south KZN coast, South Africa). I have four 1915 Royal Crown Derby demitasses and saucers, so recognised the pattern. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this is RCD.. but cannot find any pottery using this big red crown mark, with the black dot and pattern number. 2172 seems to be a Pointons pattern no. Close inspection shows the gold brushwork is a little less refined than the RCD, a bit broader lifework.. looks more like Pointons style I&#039;ve seen on examples on internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found out that there were lots of potteries in Staffordshire producing this Imari pattern in early 1900s.. so all a bit mysterious... But it makes a lovely sugar bowl to go with my demitasses! So beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone maybe have any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chiz</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433500[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433501[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
