a trio in  the same pattern but
different manufacturers
The tea plate has backstamp mark of Hibbert & Boughey,
the cup and saucer has backstamp of S T Wiltshaw & Co.

the two companies operated in Market Street at different times 
- and produced the same pattern

 

 

Initials used on ware for identification:

Note that Hampson & Broadhurst also used the initials H & B.

The Hibbert & Boughey mark was the initials H&B underneath a crown with the pattern registration number 135870 - it appears that this pattern was the only one they produced.
