Pattern B/3463
The punchbowl is 230mm in diameter. Ironstone.
The 4-line impressed mark reads "ASHWORTH'S / REAL / IRONSTONE / CHINA".
If the impressed "6 / 03" is to be read as a date code for June 1903, then the date at whjch the Goddards began to use the Mason's backstamp instead of the Ashworth's on all wares needs to be moved from the 1890s to the early years of the 20th century.
