To:- Lord Nelson Pottery - date of mark query.

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.

Best regards,

Back stamps on ware
by: Liz

The 10 78 will be the month October and the year the pattern was applied, i.e. 1978. This was done for stock control purposes. Any small marks such as paint lines would be the decorators mark. Again this would be on the back or bottom of the item.

Is Nelson Ware the Same as Lord Nelson?
by: Megan Kalu, Thunder Bay, Canada


bcm-nelson-ware

This milk pitcher has me stumped because it doesn't say Lord Nelson Wares, but just Nelson Wares and i can't find any site that says Nelson Wares only and i can't find the scene which is called Homestead.

I've spent hours and i'm coming up empty handed.

Someone's great smarts would make me very and incredibly happy.

Thank anyone in advance.

Nelson Ware is the Same as Lord Nelson
by: Peter (admin)

Dear Megan Kalu of Thunder Bay

Great question, thank for asking it. The answer is, yes, they are one and the same indeed.

Elijah Cotton has three trading names. One was NELSON WARE, another was LORD NELSON WARE and he also had a brand in his own name ELIJAH COTTON.

The factory was one of the most important and successful in Staffordshire during Victorian times, and at one point was particularly known for his jugs.

Two young girls little witch vase
by: Andrea

Hello! I am trying to find out if my piece is authentic. It has a gold "Lord Nelson Ware" circle mark. Under the circle it says "Straffordshire England". In the circle there is also a tall gold building. There is what appears to be a letter "A" in blue ink. The design looks to be in the "Blue Children" Royal Doulton Seriesware. The picture is two young girls talking to a little witch. The rim of te case is gold.
Thank you!
Authentic Lord Nelson
by: Peter (admin)

Hi Andrea

There is no reason for it not to be authentic.

The fakers mainly dabble in sought after things or items with relatively high cost to value ratio.

Think fake 19th century Minton majolica or early 1800's Staffordshire ironstone, Imperial Dynastic Chinese Porcelain, 800 year old Korean stoneware, rare German or French figurines etc etc.

Lord Nelson is great and fine, but doesn't really fit the fakers profile in my view.

Best regards

Started 1758 Elijah Cotton (Ltd)
by: Peter (admin)

Accounts are sketchy, but it seems this company began in 1758 as Elijah Cotton (Ltd). However, marketing department are known for creativity when it comes to foundation dates. Until I see the public records, or someone posts, we'll just have to assume that's a true date.

Hi there,

I have found a 'lord nelson pottery' mug with "N" letter a crown on top and two squiggly bits either side , it has the Queen Elizabeth the second face on one side with boats and the other side it is another bigger boat F421 HMNZS canterbury underneath it.. then the date of the fleet review at spithead. I have spent hours searching the internet and I can find similar ones but nothing identical so that leaves me assuming it might be a knock off? I'm not sure , any information is much appreciated .

Thank you ,
Alice
