Mark View M220810

We can safely assume that Thames was a retailer and distributor in the 1960s, rather than a producer, as the same items can be found with markings or stickers from other companies. For example, Thames item #3640 is identical to Arnart item #3640.

Comment(s)

One noteworthy feature is the use of the term "BONE CHINA FLOWER" on some items. I wonder if this is somehow linked to items marked "BONE CHINA LACE" ?
