Please help with vintage porcelain steamship? mark

[dan-solo-trading]

This mark is on the back of a bowl I bought.  I'm pretty sure this is a European steamship Circa 1870, but I can't find it and after 3 hours of searching, I'm coming here for help.  Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Show the entire piece and state its measurements.

The piece is a 10 3/8 inch large rimmed soup bowl. I'm suspecting it could be from the Bibby line since I found a very similar logo. It is by Minton.

Is it heavy, like restaurant ware?

[dan-solo-trading]

Not as heavy as actual restaurant ware.  But it does have a service wear feel (albeit fancy grade) it dates from about 1870 based on the markings .

according to godden , the mark was used from ca. 1841-1873

Are you talking about the Minton BB incised or did you find the blue mark?

[md1919 · Accepted solution]

yes, the blue "staffordshire garter" mark is in Godden's.

Do they give a maker attribution if you have the book handy?  I'm finding a different logo for that.  I'm also unsure of the initials. MC? MG?

Ahhh... the things we find in random places.   Thanks to all.
