The mark, printed in underglaze brown, has the "jewelled curved crown" device, which is attributed to the GM & CJ Mason factory during the period 1813-1829. There's also a retailer's mark reading "J Kerr, Dublin". |

This close-up shows very slight rubbing of the gilding, which is characteristic of antique pottery of this age. There are 3 small imperfections in the glaze (probably stilt marks from firing); 2 of these fall in the dark areas of the pattern, but the third was in the undecorated area and the gilder thoughtfully drew a little leaf over it! |
