Anyone know about Minton Delft Marks?

Not even sure this is the right place to ask - but I have an orange/red piece of marked Minton Delft I suspect is antique - all I can find online is the BLUE version of it.  The marks on the underside look legit so an wondering if anyone can direct me to a site that can help me ID keywords & date - thanks.

just in case you didn't know delft is the name of the pattern.   yes, more than 100 years old so it is antique.  do youself a favor and google 'british design registration marks' and you will be able to decode the info in the diamond mark, that will be when the design was patented (registered).

The design derives from an  old Chinese pattern of peonies in a basket which was copied on tin glazed delft ware. The red transfer version is less common than the blue which on the original Chinese porcelain and English delft and Dutch Delft was painted. If you follow md1919's advice you won't regret it.
