Depends on what you mean by not marked I guess, as that style of Made in England mark / number is unmistakably Beswick.  

Every day is a lesson Potty  , thanks for pointing this out.

Most baffling item, a Beswick rabbit  with the wrong model number stamped on a haunch, not on the base as normal, it is also a different colour to normal too and has been made in a 2 piece mould.
The Beswick collectors club had never seen anything like it, but confirmed it was Beswick!

Here are some photos of the Beswick 823 rabbit.
It is difficult to see, but the highlights are in a khaki colour.

Kind of fitting for the ones above...

Beswick Zebra model no 845B second version, designed by Arthur Gredington. Just over 7 inches high. Issued: Unknown-1969

I can't find anything like them online.

I thought my days of buying figurines were long behind me, but then I stumbled across this delight at the boot fair this morning. Bit of a Chun like glaze, made in England - impressed and some hand painted markings. I think it is by one of the main factories and if guessing a date I would imagine it to be from the 1950's onwards.

I cannot say I have seen one of these before, so any help identifying the factory will be warmly received, thank you

Sorry about the pictures, I had edited them to face the right way, but for some reason they do not.

Found it, Beswick blue gloss monkey, model number 397, 1936 - 54. designed by Mr Owen.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi

Just seems rather crudely painted for Beswick?

I think production went down hill before moving out to China

It says in my Beswick book here that this backstamp is the earliest printed stamp found. The mark looks identical. This rabbit isn't in my book, probably because it's a cruet.

Cool thanks, I thought it would be earlier than later stamp. Cheers

The Beswick Facebook page have found it :0)

Interesting, do you know which book that is? I've got Beswick Animals 6th Edition which is quite old now i guess. No sign of that cruet.

It says matt but yours are glazed.

Hi

No I don't know which book but I could ask. I'm not surprised in the difference between matte and glazed really, they didn't even have the dimensions details for that draft item drawing so you know...not a lot known about them. Cool huh :0)

Hi apparently the word has come back that it is from ....Carlton standard Beswick Pottery

Ah i see, so a general Beswick pottery book. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi, I'm a recent new member and just seen this post. It's shape number 2337 modelled by Albert Hallam in 1970 and was issued by Beswick 1971/72

Great info

Thanks Pottyal !!
