Post by: chonji on February 16, 2012, 01:28:35 pm

Hi all,

I have it suggested theat this is the mark of William Gordon of the Walton Pottery Chesterfield England, does anybody have any other images or links to the mark based on this info? It certainly fits some of the designs I have seen for the plate but i cannot get an image of the mark.

Thanks!

Also another forum with the same vase &  showing makers marks
