Mark looks like Wood & Son, I'm pretty sure that was their pattern.  I don't have my Godden's handy at the moment.  I will check later. GG

Semi china is also known as Ironstone...as its heavier than normal porcelain...what you,ve got is most likely from Staffordshire...It might be Rileys...or Ridgeways...Riles did transfer printed dishes in the late 19th century...looking at some of there stuff..prices range from £10 then up up it goes...but until we tie down whose mark it is..this is only speculation...

Thanks Bigwull, Ipcress & gg27 for your notes. The only reference I can find anywhere to these markings or this pattern is this Minton drainer. Do you have any idea if many potteries used the same pattern or is it now most likely that it is a minton??

warmest regards
Jools
