Well Well Well! Clever Rauville! That item is totally identical to my own. So, dissapointed, £79  and not even in auction- a buy it now, which tells me the seller knows its value.
I really thought I had something rather special. Oh well, back to saving £1 coins for my holiday spending money. Thankyou all for all your help. I'll be back up in the loft, then back here.

OK, I have learned enough from this magic forum to convince me to re-list my item properly, so I have ended it and will compose another.
I have still not been able to determine age and the stamp 'appears' to be very rare as even the main www.royalcrownderby .co.uk experts cannot find the mark - identical crown, and authenticated, but not including the norm marks underneath!
Just so wish I could offer some semblance of date. Apparently, the main interest in RCD is in the States, so I will offer shipping to there also.

I have ascertained this dish is definitely Royal Crown Derby, but the marks allude everyone??? I emailed royalcrownderby.co. uk with a picture of the stamp - no reply yet.
I have added the extra description, but if I search using the word Sardine box, it doesn't find it. Just have to hope it is found closer to the day. Would appreciate your comments on the listing (if that is allowed in this Forum) the item No. is 261056676660
If I had known of this site, I wouldn't have listed so fast! This pot was in the house where I was born on Ashdown Forest East Sussex. When we moved this was among other items not touched for years in our loft and pulled out to do a boot sale.  
The picture below has identical flower patterns and is Royal Crown Derby (not my item).


Thankyou for all your help, I look forward to getting home just to view your responses.

Wow , so helpful here! Thankyou Mart, are you sure this doesn't infringe the rules of this forum to be talking ebay? Taking that chance, the listing is 261056676660
I have established that it is Royal Crown Derby now, but the year of the stamp still eludes me. I know it is very early as the later stamps are much clearer, more uniform and more detailed.

Have added a couple of pictures. To enlighten anyone, this definitely old, not repo for certain.
Hope these pictures help. Problem is, I have already put this on eBay, wrongly described as a pate dish. Don't know what to do as it has a couple of bids and I cannot alter the description? Thank you for the info so far.

Wouldn't put my life on it, but I believe it could be a woodcarvers mallet.

So pleased you are struggling as well    Believe me I have spent a long time trawling the net to no avail, very frustrating as I KNOW this is not c**p. How can a nice piece with a clear(ish) mark not be listed?? And, there are two stamps - one seen here, and one embossed, but to me undecipherable. Plus the the other signed mark in gold that could be a date, but I believe it is much older than the numerals suggest, thus I strongly believe it is an edition number.
Anyway, whatever, I do so appreciate finding this site, which I will visit often as I frequently aquire items that elude me. I could write a book on the items I have found and sold for infinitely way below there value!
The only area I am knowledgeable about is Paperweights, so any questions, fire away!

I have trawled a good Makers Marks book with 1800 marks but cannot find this one. Nor do I know what it is. The handle is a fish, so one would assume caviar - or pate. Would love to know. Anyone have an educated guess??
