The English China factory of Thomas R. Booth has its history that dates back to the mid 1800s and has gained a wonderful reputation among its competitors and continued with high quality standards into the 1970s. The "Real Old Willow" group of ceramics has several details to considering for date and prices. The present plate has in the trim not only gold but also the inner bad is in brown, giving an additional clue. Gold on the rim but the central portion of the inner band is brown, flanked by two gold bands. We believe this was produced by adding gilding to the brown version - in the photo you can clearly see that on this example the gold band does not accurately mask the brown below. Furthermore there exist two distinct patterns, the more widespread A8025 and the earlier (and harder to find) 9072 pattern, which can be recognized easily by the more old-fashioned lettering in the mark.
Made in England was added to the "Crown" mark after the First World War. Numbers 9072 and A8025 do NOT overlap; A8025 super-ceded 9072 around 1944. According to Mr Biernacki, the numbering system beginning with an "A" was only begun in 1944. Far from predating 1930 (as would be inferred from consulting "Godden"), items with the "Book" backstamp can actually date from as late as 1981. This information can also be applied to other patterns with this mark such as Pompadour, Friesian and others.
Real Old Willow Dessert or Bread plate from 1944 to 1950s. Has some crazing and age. Otherwise no cracks or chips. Nice antique condition.
Diameter: 7.5" inches
Weight: 272 grams
