Marks used on ware for identification:

The manufacturers at the Dale Hall pottery works often used the date "1790" in their mark - this was not the date that the ware was made nor the date that their company started.

1790 was the date that the original works were first built by Joseph Stubbs.

It was not unusual for potters to try to establish an early date, to try to give their ware some sense of history and perceived value.
