mark incorporating the Royal Arms 

  

 


Opaque China
R & D

this mark clearly shows the initials 'R & D' 
- the only known manufacturer of this period with R & D is Robinson & Dale

 

 

 

 

  

sometimes the initials are difficult to read and are mistaken for 'B & D' or 'E & D' 
- there are no known manufacturers with those initials
