Moorcroft Toadstool Vase, 1913

• Registered Numbers - Between 1842 and 1883, a diamond- shaped mark was used to identify items as British-made, which classified the item according to the material from which it was manufactured, as well as the date of registration. This system was discontinued in 1884 when a numbering system was introduced.
  
  Design registration is for "what and item looks like", and is not a patent ("how something works") or trade mark ("what it is called").
  
  The registered number is usually on an under-surface of an object (on the base of ceramics) and oftern shown as "Rd. No. 99999", sometimes surrounded by a rectangular box.
  
  The table below lists the year, and the first registered number for that year:
