To the underside of the oval basket is a blue transfer-printed backstamp featuring a crown symbol above the text EST. 1775, a banner containing the word AYNSLEY, and the text PEMBROKE / Fine Bone China / MADE IN ENGLAND. The lot is accompanied by two original navy blue cardboard presentation boxes printed in gold-coloured lettering with Aynsley Est. 1775.
