Hicks & Meigh Platter?

[kyal]

14" rectangular porcelain platter.  The coat of arms mark with "Royal Stone" on the back looks right and the work looks typical.  Of course, I wonder how I stumbled on this piece for a song at a yard sale in Minerva, Kentucky (population 53).  Is this what it is?  If so (and if not), any estimate as to age?  Thanks in advance!

I believe that is the Hicks, Meigh and Johnson mark. However, the mark is too crisply printed for my certainty and it would normally be in blue.

If it is Hicks, Meigh, and Johnson it would date to 1822-35, according to Godden.

At The Potteries website their first mark using the Royal Coat of Arms looks black to me.

This mark is black for sure.

Upon closer inspection of the Hicks and Meigh marks on The Potteries website, enlarging them a bit, I agree with md1919.  This is clearly not a Hicks and Meigh plate.  There are just a number of little things wrong, the angle of the heads and shield, the "Stone China" is not curved on any of the marks on The Potteries and the details are as md1919 stated way too clear.  However, it does look more like the Hicks, Meigh & Johnson mark c.1822-35.  But still ify.

The platter style front & back reminds me of Spode Felspar.

I think that may be a Davenport piece.

[md1919]

neither spode nor davenport used a british coat of arms mark.

Maybe Wedgwood? or Mason's

This is the Hicks, Meigh & Johnson mark

It is a gorgeous piece whatever it is!

I thought so, too!

 In all likelihood I will list as a Hicks, Meigh and Johnson platter circa 1825, with the proviso that this is my best guess.
