Ware "decorated with the standard Willow pattern has been notes with a printed mark of a ribbon bearing the words 'STAFFORDSHIRE' and 'STONE CHINA', above the initiaals G. R. & Co. Although they may relate to an earlier partnership Godwin, Rathbone & Co., this design is more likely to have been made by the later firm"
