I am looking for info. about the pattern name and year this was made. I could not find much about the company called Mintons either. Is this a popular company collected? Is it anything to keep an eye out for? Is it just trash.....? Thanks!
Staffordshire famous company:

That impressed circle is the date mark.
Check the list on that site.
Thanks Bellin68 and vetraio50....So I would say at the earliest 1873 and at the latest 1891 (as I do not see the word ENGLAND). Thanks vetraio50 very helpful!
You should be able to refine that down further. Check the circle mark on the list a little further down the page. I think I know which year it is.
1882? I didn't scroll down far enough before. whoops.
Nice find. : ) The depth of the saucer bowl and the steep slope of the ridge remind me of a form of trembleuse.
