<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 268947, member: 59"]Interesting side note. The finial on your pot looks almost identical to one on a Shaw & Fisher "registered design" illustration (copied into Scott's book from the Sheffield Central Library) dated in 1845. The rest of the pot in that picture is different from yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mark on yours dates from 1855 - 1872. There are 2 Allan pieces pictured in the book, but neither is in the design of yours. I would say from the looks of yours (and that finial) that it is closer to the 1855 start date of the use of the mark than it is to the 1872 end date of Allan's work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
