There is a makers stamp to the back. Lipscombe & Co. Lipscombe & Co., also recognised under the name London Pottery, was founded in 1878 and ran by the Lipscombe family. The company in fact specialised in the production of water filters due to the impurities in water from taps etc at the time. The business was so successful, it expanded by building a pottery at Brampton. This was the largest near Chesterfield according to a newspaper clipping from District News in 1866. At this time, the owner was Frederick Lipscombe. James Pearson purchased the pottery company in 1886 and connected the works by railway to his Oldfield operation. By 1931, production ceased.
