| Figure 19 Plate, New Chelsea Porcelain Co., Longton, Staffordshire, England, ca. 1923. Bone china. D. 8 1/2". Mark on reverse: New Chelsea mark incorporating an anchor. It has been said that the New Chelsea mark was not used until “c. 1936+,” which suggests that the mark was either used much earlier than recorded or, more likely, that Thorley’s designs continued to be used after he left the factory. The plate was found in Thorley’s studio. |
