Mark: Incised Salopian script mark and shape number 119Height: 150mm / 6in Date: c.1900
The Salopian script mark seen on this piece is very unusual as it’s more commonly found on Salopian Rhodian pieces. From the style of lettering it would appear to be by the same hand that marked some pieces of Salopian Rhodian.
