Royal Crown Derby Message Board Posted by Martin Mills on March 04, 2008 at 19:01:13: Hi, I have a blue & white porcelain cup & saucer that I suspect is unfinished imari. Can anyone help me confirm/deny it is Derby? The cup has a blue printed backstamp of a crown on it and the saucer has an impressed backstamp of a crown and the impressed letters 'H ? O' below it, possibly 'H & O'. The impressed crown is a very different shape to the printed one and looks like the crown in marks 1 to 5 here: http://www.oldandsold.com/pottery/greatbritain7.shtml but without the 'D' below it. You can see photos of the cup & saucer along with the printed backstamp here: http://www.instappraisal.com/node?page=16 You will need to scroll down to the 'Cobalt blue Porcelain teacup and saucer'. Any information/suggestions will be very grateful received. I have spent ages trying to identify its maker and to date it. Martin.
