unknown pottery marks on figures - O T with Waves (blue):- I moved in to my present house about 10 years ago but its only this last month or so ive had real reason to go in the loft. Because i was having the roof done i decided to replace my loft insulation. I had been up there before but never really looked around. Anyway i came across a dusty box tucked away in the corner, which when i opened it had quite a few things wrapped up in it.

After fetching it down and opening the wrappings imagine my surprise to find quite a lot of pottery figures etc. Actually in the box were 30 wade whimsies, some in mint condition some slightly damaged, a beswick peter rabbit which i have found has a gold oval backstamp, a beswick mrs tittlemouse, a beswick tom kitten and a beswick bullfinch.

Imagine my surprise to also find a hummel figure named the little helper, 3 dresden ladies with lace dresses which unfortunately were badly damaged along with some other figures. Of these 2 have no markings whatsoever and look to be run of the mill pottery figures both of which are models of little girls.

There was a very nice looking figure of a young boy with a lamb, which through this site i managed to find the the mark which shows it to be a marks and ronsfeld figure from around the 1950's.

the 3 figures i am having trouble identifying are 1 of a little man/boy in blue coat/ red breeches (which does have a gold anchor mark on the back, the only reference of which i can find is that it is possibly chelsea or a copy) and an indistinguishable gold mark on the base.

The second is a figure of a lady and gentlemen again in blue with what appears to be an intertwined C & T over some wavy lines.

The third figure although it doesnt look expensive intrigues me and is of a fisherman and woman stood on rocks and the only mark i can find is the date 1944 impressed on the back.

i have checked the site but been unable to find these figures or marks and i would appreciate any help i can get.

Hi Stephen

You did well in your searching - glad this site helped in your identification. Had you put the words "t wavy lines" into the search box located at the top right of every page on this site, you would have found the following page which discusses the mark shown above:-
