HISTORY/MARKS: The Plant family had been making pottery in Longton in the late 18th century. About 1900 two Plant brothers established a major factory called Tuscan Works that in 1915 became R.H. & S.L. Plant Ltd. On the factory building were the words, "Our Work ... Our Pride." Tuscan Works produced what was considered a fine line of china made by adding bone ash to a clay mixture. In 1970 the plant was acquired by Wedgwood, the world-famous ceramic maker and by 2006 the plant closed. The mark on this set is Tuscan Fine English Bone China (R.H. & S.L. Plant, Ltd.) Made in England which Geoffrey A. Godden's Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks, designates this as mark #3064 used 1947-1960.
