Title: Blue White Underglaze English Oxford Isis
Post by: laura9797 on January 10, 2008, 01:15:07 PM: :new: Howdie from Georgia! I have a marking that appears to be contemporary but I have not been able to find it? A pottie on the ebay board thought it might be K & K out of China but I am not sold on that. Has anyone seen this marking?

As always, thank you for looking!

Hi Laura, can we see the item itself please - someone might recognise the item or the style. As Anne says, it's obviously from a pottery in Oxford and I'm wondering if the '10-96' mark is a date.

That looks like a Copyright symbol next to it, I know the 'R' symbol was used since the 1950's and onwards...
