Stubbs & Kent used this backstamp between 1828 and 1830. Seldom do we have such a tight framework for dating pottery. There was soooo much change, probably in all companies, but I see it most often in silversmiths and the potters. Someone apprentices with a craftsman, marries the daughter, has his name incorporated in the stamping, then adds a brother or child and a death occurs - boom, new marks every time. Same with the potters, Within a cluster of ...dwellings along a river there would be several backyard kilns. A child would be apprenticed young, learn the trade, develop his own aesthetic, have a bit of a falling out with the older generation over change or the value of intellectual property, next thing you know he has moved to the next cluster of cottages up the river and formed a partnership with another potter he knows from the pub. The entire Staffordshire region was a hotbed of trade gossip that we really only see when researching the backstamps.
Policies & Procedures to improve your eBay experience:
If your item arrives broken - we are BOTH sad and no one did it to you on purpose and you must send me a picture of the item, smashed beyond usefulness (so I am not squinting to see damage in a 2 inch picture) and we'll get you taken care of. Breakage is an inconvenience and disappointment for both of us, so no need to get all defensive and I am hardly ever interested in seeing a broken item back in my mailbox. After all, if it's broken, I sure don't want to sell it to someone else.
Use the shopping cart if you want a shipping deal. I love multiple purchases and there is nearly always a better deal on getting more than one item in a box. That deal is unpredictable however. If one dinner plate costs $12 to ship, it might be that 3 of the same will cost about the same - shipping is an art AND a science. Choosing a shipper depends on weight, dimensions, AND where you are. The automated calculator feature will do its best, but please use the shopping cart because it will allow you to make purchases without shoving you through the automated paying process. I have to manually adjust your invoice for the shipping savings so don't pay some automated thing with the incorrect amount - wait for the one that matches our agreement.
Ask questions! Ebay has become increasingly complex in its efforts to simplify. If you are new or unaccustomed to purchasing vintage pieces or just want to ask what I mean by "flamingo pink", I will be glad to help you through the process. Part of YOUR job is to read the doggone listing, get a real address in your information (FedEx will not deliver to PO Boxes), and get your contact information correct. New email address? New phone number?
Here comes the mean grown-up stuff-- I do not accept FRIVOLOUS returns. If you spend your rent money and then want it back, shop elsewhere. I am not The Mall. If you are chemically impaired, please shop in someone else's store. Do I really have to say this? Yes. Get your address and telephone number into the system correctly. If you make a purchase, hoping that I am mistaken and that you have really purchased a million dollar piece of artwork - only it happens the artwork is just what I have said it is - there are no returns.
Those of you who are still reading --- have a good time. If you see a correction I should make - tell me. I don't always get it right and promise I won't snap your head off.
