I'm certain it's not SylvaC, but I can see why you'd think of it.

Re: Hedgehog Money Box, Made in England - Denmead Pottery?
Agreed, I'm not meaning my guess was any better, just that I can rule out SylvaC
Lots of makers did make items in this style and marked their items in a similar manner, but I expect someone who really knew a lot about these makers would spot it a mile off. Most of the makers had their slight tell-tale signs, but I don't know most of them anyway

Re: Hedgehog Money Box, Made in England - Denmead Pottery?
I've just remembered the name I've been thinking of but could not remember, as the Denmead ones look close, but I thought this may be earlier (more complex glaze, greater detail in the moulding).
Trentham Art Ware, not sure if they did a Hedgehog money box, but they did make others and marked in this way, glaze looks right too.

I suppose Holkham could be another contender

Devonmoor is another possibility

Although those blue touches of glaze on the spines are similar to Foster's Pottery glaze

I did a search for tortoise money boxes as I remembered that the maker that I was thinking of did them (I remembered because this makers turtle design / marks reminded me of SylvaC's version), found one with the same glaze as this Hedgehog.

Re: Hedgehog Money Box, Made in England - Denmead Pottery?
We should make a list of all the British factory's that made this sort of ceramics, I'm always forgetting the lesser know ones.
A list of the ones likes: SylvaC, Beswick, Carlton Ware, Lord Nelson, Sadler, Royal Winton, Arthur Wood etc etc etc.

I think that's incorrect, though I do think they had access to the same mould at some point.

Agreed. I have a few Denmead pieces and they are all marked Denmead.

Re: Hedgehog Money Box, Made in England - Denmead Pottery?
How did you confirm is as Denmead?
I don't think there are any doubts about it being Trentham Art Ware?
Naomi found that model used by them and everything else was a match. (Glaze, marks, inscribed numbers, detail etc)
Trentham Art Ware is a lot more commercial, so it's a better result anyway.
