Hi there

Thanks for your interesting submission. Nice find in the loft! I appreciate the time and trouble you took to contact the site and share this handsome discovery.

Lord Nelson Ware started life in Hanley, Staffordshire in 1880 (that is according to Goddens - some other accounts say 1758) as the rather wonderfully named Elijah Cotton (Ltd).

If I were them I would have stuck to that name because it has a very distinctive ring to it indeed.

However, they invented the brand "Nelson Ware" in about 1913 and then the term 'Lord Nelson Ware' seemed to appear around the 1950's (could be earlier though).

This company went on into quite modern times, so the plate could just as well be relatively modern (2nd half of 20th Century?), in fact.

Good luck!

Best regards,
