This is a picture of the HONG KONG patterned dish that I blogged about below. I just wanted to show you the back with all the wonderful marks - there is even an impressed diamond registration mark that you can't make out, but which informs us that the shape of the plate was registered (the printed diamond is for the printed pattern). There is also the pattern name, Oriental Ivory, painters numbers and the printed mark for the retailer. As i have shown with other items in my collection, the factory wasn't shy about promoting their goods - and they were rightly proud! Of course, it makes the job of collecting their wares much easier than for other factories that weren't so conspicuous with their labelling.
