There are miniature versions of this piece... don't confuse the two when purchasing online! Mint Condition B9 Hallmark ~ B.9 Differing from B.7 by the addition of the words MADE IN ENGLAND, this mark was commonly in use after 1932. However, the exact date of introduction is not known. Many dated examples between 1928 and 1931 exist, and occasional examples dated between 1923 and 1927 have also been noted although B.8 was more generally used in those years (with the words MADE IN ENGLAND at the bottom of the mark in place of the single word ENGLAND). This mark is still used on fine earthenware products such as Character Jugs.
