1. Backstamp Details: Production Era (1947–1966): The specific green printed mark featuring "TUSCAN FINE ENGLISH BONE CHINA" arched over a winged crown signifies the factory's peak "Golden Age" production era before the company was acquired by the Wedgwood Group in 1966.
2. Pattern Identification: The handwritten script number C 9503 at the bottom is the factory's unique identification code for the "Bouquet" floral pattern sequence.
3. Artist Mark: The small green smudge or hook shape to the top left of the main logo is a painter’s mark, custom-added by the artisan who hand-finished or painted the gold gilding on that specific plate.
