📖 Historical Note
The Davenport factory (founded in 1793 by John Davenport in Longport, Staffordshire) was renowned for producing high-quality bone china and porcelain during the late Georgian and Victorian periods. The anchor mark used on the underside of this plate was adopted around 1805 and remained in use through the mid-19th century. Davenport’s gilt-edged and shell-moulded wares were particularly popular among affluent households of the Regency era.
