Signature / Inscription / Marks

Inscribed in bright red, the numbers? 1911/19[the character preceding the number 1911 is an attempted facsimile of the mark that appears - possibly an "I" to represent Minton's cypher for the month of June, when this pattern was manufactured; see attached data for file, for Minton's lettering of months]

Marks: Impressed marks underglaze, uncolored, included "Mintons" and two squiggles: one of these resembles a double-arc (?) which is identifiable as Minton's mark for the year 1875.
