This is a pottery mark from  W. H. Grindley & Co. , an English pottery company founded in 1880 in Tunstall, Staffordshire. 16 inches long, 11 1/4 wide and 2 1/2 inches deep, this is a serving platter, not a plate. Based on the details in the backstamp, here is the breakdown of what the mark tells us: Manufacturer:   W. H. Grindley & Co. . Pattern Name:   LORNE , which is visible at the top of the mark. This pattern often features a clover or shamrock design. Pottery Type:  The  F B  at the bottom stands for " Flow Blue ," a style of transferware where the blue pigment was allowed to "flow" or bleed into the glaze during firing to create a soft, blurred effect. Date:  This specific mark, which features a globe with a steamer boat on top and includes the word "ENGLAND," was used between  1891 and 1914 . Marks used before 1891 typically included the town name "Tunstall" instead of "England".   W. H. Grindley was a major exporter of ironstone and earthenware, particularly to North America and Australia, and the  Lorne  pattern remains a popular choice for collectors of antique flow blue today Condition: Used.
