I saw an identical "God save the queen" plate in amber glass today. I still don't know who made them though.  :(

Eureka!

Third match on lettering — Lillicrap's Hone by

WOOD BROS, BARNSLEY

It all adds up.   Wood Bros had the distribution network and outlets for '36 and '53 Coronation souvenirs and a range or two of pressed tableware.

I'm sticking with this as close on a certainty until someone proves me wrong.   It's not just the lettering and circumstantial evidence, you get this gut feeling.   Same mild Art Deco design, same quality, same weight, same mouldmaker, same finish.

Phew, it's been a long time coming!

What do you think?
