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

Agreed, I'm not meaning my guess was any better, just that I can rule out SylvaC Excellent

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 Big Laughter

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. Shrugs

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. Excellent

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.

How did you confirm is as Denmead?

I don't think there are any doubts about it being Trentham Art Ware? Shrugs

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.
