THIS DISH IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I researched on the web and, though I am no expert at all, it seems that this mark was made when the company was called \'ADDERLEYS LTD\' for a certain time period. Here is what the article said in full:Although the original firm of 1876 was known as W A Adderley & Co, the name was changed in 1906 to Adderleys Ltd. Mostly the pottery marks retained the singular \'Adderley\' name, but there was a specific period which my records show Adderley used the \"Adderleys Ltd\" pottery mark in several variations with a crown device up top. This type of mark began in 1926 and probably was phasing out by 1929 when the firm went back to using Adderley or Adderley ware. The firm was actually oficially known as \"Adderleys Ltd\" from 1906 until its takeover by Pearsons Ridgway in 1947 when the Adderley pottery mark was retained as a backstamp only. ( WON\'T ALLOW ME TO LINK HERE; EMAIL IF YOU WANT THE LINK.)IN ANY CASE, THE DISH IS VERY PRETTY AND DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU SEE AS VINTAGE OR CURRENT!Please email with any questions. International buyers please inquire about shipping rates as they are different than domestic.Thanks for looking!
